How much blood would one have to lose till their foot would go numb

It's been a week in the hospital and my sister has lost a lot of blood due to an accident. I'm unsure if she'll be stable, but she's told me her feet are begining to feel numb. So, how much blood would she have had to lose for this to happen?

    I’ve been in hospital twice with low blood count (haemoglobin - 6) and my feet never went numb, I just looked awful and my heart rate was high resting and I’d become breathless just walking
