Wednesday and Thursday have been great. Mary has slept all night the past two nights and has only used Ibuprofen for pain if anything. She has been feeling well enough to do homework and go for walks.
Tomorrow will be Day 4 so we will turn off the nerve block in the morning to test to see if she is over the major pain in her foot. If there isn't a lot of pain in her foot we will remove the nerve block from her hip. When the nerve block wears off she will experience the same feeling as when your leg falls asleep (it was pretty uncomfortable when the nerve block wore off after the fixator surgery). If it's the pins and needles feeling alone we will remove the nerve block catheter from her hip but if her foot is really painful we will turn the nerve block on again for another day and try again on Saturday.
