Hi all,

Had my first (and only) lumbar block this morning. I guess it went well. from what I understand, not only did they give me sedation, but at some point, I was doing/saying/groaning/something, because he gave me more stuff and i was totally totally out. woke up in recovery. he was doing this block because the insurance co. would complain that he hadn't done everything before giving me the scs. I'll get that on the 17th of this month. Next wed. the big question I have is, why is the top of my thigh numb? is this normal. it feels like you face feels when you get novicaine at the dentist. It's just weird. before I left the hospital I also took 2 percocet because of the long drive home. I don't remember getting home or going to bed, nothing...lol poor hubby....my back is a little sore, but I don't know if the block really worked or not. Oh well..I'll be back later...sleepy.....
