adam: well yea, i can walk quite comfortably, sit down everything. There is some discomfort, like something's "there", but i can't call it pain. Maybe I'm just too self-conscious still and I try to take it really easy.
About pantyliners well, thanks for the idea, I had thought about it, but to be honest it does make me a little uncomfortable, more from an irritation point of view than anything else. That is, I never quite understood how it's possible that they don't "rub" against the skin/wound, so I'm afraid they'd do more bad than good.
I am expecting a call from my doc the next week with the histology result and I'm going to ask him also about the discharge. Last time he told me it should go away in a few days, but this was 4 days ago and can't see any change so far. I do have one more week off-work, hopefully it will go down by then, if not I really have to think hard about those pantyliners :)
By the way, as a result of the fissure I haven't worn any underpants for the last year or so (or only sometimes the boxer kind which were looser), because of the pain. I had a walk today with a tight fitting pair and behold...no pain. That sure feels great. Although, to be honest, I'm still having difficulties mentally grasping a life without this constant pain, worrying, thinking about it. It's been too long and I guess it will take me a long while to stop, if ever. Of course, I'm not out of the woods yet, but I was just thinking if I will ever go back to the way I was before and just be totally oblivious of these issues...
