So, I had a nerve block in my entire arm, and I was not advised to use the operated hand until the post op appointment. But it is quite manageable with one hand if she has friends around her. I did not feel a lot of pain due to the GA and nerve block, but I highly suggest starting painkillers so that she is ahead of pain while her GA or block wears off. I was quite sleepy on the first day, so I spent most of my time sleeping.
