Congrats JHH glad your starting to get some relief :) 
Splinterboy I use the vaseline all the time too it definitely wont do you any harm :) 

Thanks all. Like expected I had a great day. Lots of sunshine, and no ass-issues at all. Even took the kids to the beach :)
I prelube every time I go. The more firm my BM is, the more its required. Im putting a huge blob up there to protect the fissure, and to make it slide out easier. It a slippery mess after each BM, but it doesnt matter, since I jump directly in a shower right after.
Yes, splinter, you can use vaseline all you want without worries.

Day 35
Bristol 6 again, and slight pain when stool passes the fissure. Had a tiny bit of irritation some time later. Guess its just the fissure reminding me to continue to take it easy, and drink plenty of water.

Perfect news!
Keep going, unfortunately today I didn't get Bristol six and feel fissure pain again.

We are on a sad journey, but hey at least misery loves company. Also people who heal just dissapear...people like torninhell...dont even bother to stop by and cheer us a bit.:( sadbear

Sounds like everything is okay JHH. I want some Botox success stories on here, and hopefully all of us Botox Butts will be successful in killing these monsters. Keep the hope. Xx

Day 36
Bristol 5-6 today. A little formed in the beginning, and then perfect.
Hurt a bit more than usual, and have had lots of irritation durIng the day, but no real pain.
Oh well, hopefully I'm OK again tomorrow.

Drink plenty and poop gently!
Keep on healing my Botox-butt friend!

But I am, dear W!
Nice to see, you are cruising along :)

JHH
I have to say, this seems like it is the best you ever felt since joining the forum my friend. I know this diary has helped you stay above water and on track, even with a few hiccups.
I hope that this is only the beginning of a new chapter for you and that permanent relief and healing are on the horizons. You must have learned so much here and it will be a great help years from now when hopefully this will all seem like a dream (nightmare!!!)
