Hey W. Looks like you are doing fine :) 
Got to ask... Did you drew your avatar yourself?

Lets see, before when the pain would come upon a BM,when I sat down on the toilet.
I would tilt my head back then look up at the sealing and blow out by piercing my lips and chant the mmmmm sound. I  hope no one would here me in the next cubicle..lol It made the pain more bearable, because it usually made me laugh afterwards.

I like this one Welsh!!
ETO's Fissure Traditions LOL......
1) Finding the best pooping position:
"The Dive"
Getting into the "dive" position whilst squatting on loo, knees bent, arms raised up into diving angle, poised and ready to go!!
"The Loo Haka"
For those times, when your poop is having a little trouble popping out smoothly!...Stand either side of the toilet and haka away! Lift each leg in turn, up and down, with knees bent and bottom angled slightly backwards to help the motion pass!.....Jiggle bottom around a little.
2) Air circulation & allowing the fissure to "breathe" crazy theory: "If I can get fresh air at least into my bum crack, it might help the healing process of the fissure"
The Recovery position:
Lie on side in recovery position and stack as many pillows/ cushions as possible on top of each other and lift outer leg as high as possible, with knee bent and angled towards chin and rest on top of stack of pillows!! - thus creating an opening in which air can circulate!!
Bumbathing:
In a very discreet part of the garden(!) expose bare bottom to direct sunlight and using hands, gently pull cheeks apart to allow sunlight & air to get in there!!! Be very gentle with this one!!!
I'm sure I have more to add!........
OMG I'm shocked at the lengths I have actually been to, to make life less painful!!
Can't wait to read others!
