Anita,
I found that the following REALLY helped me.
Get a squirt bottle and fill up with warm water AND lavender oil. Lavender is a natural antiseptic and it helps with the healing.
Also, and I kick myself for not doing this much sooner...get an antiseptic
wound spray and spray it after each peeing and washing with the water. I found that as soon as I did that I was able to walk normally within a day.
Hope this helps.
