6/10 Monday
I was so optimistic when I woke up this morning since yesterday I had close to zero discomfort and I really was hoping for a painless BM. Boy was I wrong. (BM around 9, 10am)
To be fair, pain during BM has decreased a bit. Pain of pushing back the hemmies (since doing so causes a wave of intense spasms) also decreased noticeably. But overall, the post-PM spasms lasted all day. Now it's 6:20pm and it's still not gone. I didn't take any painkillers though.
Also, the first time I got a fissure, finger dilation was so effective at stopping the spasms. Now it doesn't work as well. Maybe because the location of the fissure is different? This 2nd one is about 9 o'clock, and much deeper (up "higher" into the anal canal) than the first one (which was about 6 o'clock, and closer to the anal canal opening, visible from the outside).
food: some prunes, home-made multi-bean soy milk, one protein shake (20g of plant protein), 2 cups of spinach, banana/coconut water smoothie
