Very little blood under the foreskin and on the head when I check at pee breaks, which is encouraging. However, when I roll my foreskin about half way down the head, I can see, as well as the tiny bit of blood, there's a little dampness and clear liquid. I assume this it lymphatic fluid that is oozing a bit. Again, nothing to worry about, but if it gets bad or I get worried about anything else, I'll phone the numbers the hospital gave me.
I still sit down to pee and dab away at the end. It's a good habit and keeps things clean and dry.
Had a little more pain today, just in small twinges, and the occasional itch, but really nothing bad at all. Gone back to work after taking two days off last week and having two days for the weekend. Everything feels fine.
16:00 - Just checked at work in the toilet by rolling the foreskin all the way back (I guess this counts as stretching/exercising it). Felt absolutely no pain, and things look fairly good down there. It's still a bit sticky, and the stitches look like they're a bit yellowy, but I don't think it's pus. It smelled a tiny bit but not too bad. Will wash it later and exercise it again.
21:00 - I washed it in the shower the same way as before (dip in cup of salty water, swish around, pour water over penis - then repeat with soapy water, then repeat with clean water). There was some dried blood but not much. After washing, I had a good look. All this with no pain.
Where the wound down the shaft is, there's a big blob of clotted blood. I guess that's a good thing as clotting means it's healing underneath, rather than it just being open. That'd explain all the dried blood elsewhere. However, the stitches haven't seemed to clot properly yet, and instead are weeping a little clotting blood and some of that clear fluid (lymph?).
When drying, a small amount of blood came off on the towel, but this could be the clot or the dried blood leaving a residue rather than actual bleeding.
It's a little achey/uncomfortable afterwards so I've taken a paracetamol.
All clean, bring on the night! Not too worried.
