2:30 am: Pain.

[nwhiker]

My poor baby is awake, in tears from the pain. Sigh.

We gave her her breakthrough meds.

I guess the nerve block, with the catheter that is still inside, isn't going much good.

God, it makes me sick to know she's hurting enough to cry. AC does not cry.

Fingers crossed that the additional pain meds are enough to get her to sleep, and to take her until she can have her next full doses. Which is 4 am. I was going to give her stuff when we got up at 6, but I think I'll set an alarm to do it at the earlier time.

FTR, adding a new "acl" tag.

Poor AC! I remember crying from pain after I broke my leg. It gets better, surprisingly quickly.

I hope her experience is similar in that it gets better quickly, Maia. She was up less than an hour later, crying again. Gave her her 4am meds at 4am, and now, just before 8am, she is pretty miserable again.

Poor girlie.
