Late morning yesterday, they removed the four remining drains. The pain caused Kevin to clench all his muscles each time one was pulled, despite all the extra pain med he administered prior and during romoval. He spent most of yesterday sleeping off the extra medication, though we did go for a walk last night and then visited Alice for about a half hour.
Today Kevin's back and abdominal muscles are really sore from the clenching he did yesterday. He's having a little difficulty adjusting to his liquid diet. If he starts handling the fluids better by end of day, they'll start him on surgical soft diet tomorrow. If he keeps progressing well with digestion, we could go home as early as Sunday. More likely will be Tuesday-ish before he is released.
So now we wait for the plumbing to heal. Otherwise, all is good, though Kevin is fed up with not feeling good. Poor guy. :-(
