I was right - I couldn't keep Kevin down any longer than yesterday. Today he was determined to go to Walmart to look at their movie section as new movies come out every Tuesday. Nothing good today though, but we did hit the mall for a while. He had a blast there - it's somewhere we just rarely go to.
So believe it or not - Kevin has not needed any pain meds at all. He took a pill yesterday before leaving the hospital to head off any pain, but that was it yesterday. He also took one dose of Tylenol today when he sneezed and it hurt. His belly and thigh areas aren't black and blue or sore from the liposuction and his eyes/head aren't black and blue from the injections either. He did end up pulling out a stitch that was just on the tip of his mouth when he was eating, but hopefully that's ok. Frankly, it's gonna have to be ok - it's gone, lol.
And that pretty much wraps up our day. I made him stick around the house the bulk of the day because he did just have surgery, but he didn't like it much at first. He realized I was right though when he got real sleepy on the way back to the house from the mall. Short trips, kiddo...
