Well Bambi,
Your day sounds a lot like mine. I hate to complain because I would trade it any day over the fissure and like you said there are many people going through much worse.
I tried walking sometime back and by the time I got home I was so aggravated by the irritation, I could scream. Like you said, I know when it feels raw/irritated that there is something there. It is very mild leakage but as you said and never makes it to the underwear. It just feels so raw when it happens.
I agree with you about the walmart wipes. I have found many of their products to be as good if not better than name brand.
I know what you mean about the fear, it's stays with you for awhile. You cracked me up with" Move on down the road"

I had one of those incidence this morning. It scared the h*** out of me but everything was fine. I also use the A&D and Vaseline, just started the calmoseptine . You bring up a good point with the drying out. I'm not sure if that's good or bad?! I will try the Balneol as soon as I can get my hands on it.
I'm sorta glad to hear I am not the only one, although I'm sorry you are dealing with this too. We both have had pretty straight forward, no re-tearing recoveries...Maybe it's going to take us a little longer for this to resolve. Apparently our cuts were sufficient!!
As you said Bambi, we have to hold on to the thoughts of this to shall pass. Please share if you come up with something magical for a barrier or cleaning and I will too- geez! Take care Bambi:)
