Day 5 summary. Food: oatmeal porridge with a sliced pear for breakfast, one half sized bagel with salami and ham for lunch, lasagna and salad for dinner, half a punnet of strawberries as a snack.
I've had four BMs today. It seems like they're transitioning to slightly more formed but soft and that's what I'm aiming for. No bleeding or discharge today.
I have the same burning sensation after BMs at the fissurectomy site until I clean off. I'm still uncomfortable part of the day after BMs but I've been sitting up for around four hours today in one to one and a half hour sittings. I have been for a short car ride as well and it was considerably less uncomfortable than when I had the fissure. I took one 500mg paracetamol this morning but haven't taken any painkiller after that.
I took 0.75 sachets of Laxido this morning and one sachet tonight.
I've not been for a walk as the weather has been appalling today.
Zero episodes of House of Cards but probably ten episodes of Man v Food...
