Day 22 Summary. It's been three weeks since the surgery. I'm pretty much able to walk at my normal pace now with only slightly shorter strides. I'm fine walking up stairs and steep hills without any discomfort at all.
My BMs still feel weird in lack of a better way to describe them. The dull ache only lasts a short while after BMs. However, I noticed that sitting on curved surfaces (I sat on odd shaped benches today) makes things uncomfortable almost immediately. I assume the fissurectomy site hasn't healed yet.
I had three BMs today.
I have walked 5.8 miles today and been on my feet walking around exploring most of the day.
I eat more bread than usual as it seems like it's impossible to get a hold of the Quaker Oats instant porridge pots in Portugal. We went to a local pastelaria for breakfast today and I had a sandwich for lunch which means far more flour based products than usual. I've had a pear and will eat a lot of cherries shortly.
I still take 2 sachets of Laxido a day. I intend to go back to 1.75 sachets tomorrow if my BMs are a nice and soft tomorrow. I drink a minimum of 2.5 litres of water a day, usually closer to 3 litres a day.
