Nerve block wearing off

She had an ok night. No pain just hard getting comfortable. So she didn't sleep much but she was in a good mood, "it wasn't as bad as she thought it would be and everyone is nice."

But at 6:00 the nerve block started to wear off. Just like the anesthesiologist said she felt painful pins and needles like when your leg has "fallen asleep". I am having to teach her about pushing the pca before it gets too painful. She can now feel her foot and leg. She actually can feel inside her lower leg. She was no longer in a good mood. They gave her atavan for the spasm's and she is now sleeping. Today may be a hard day managing the pain. I loved the nerve block!
