2nd degree tear

Dear mummies, few days ago I gave birth and had a second degree tear. Please share your recovery period and what to look out for. I would like to know if there’s things I should take note about and how to do things better.

I had an episiotomy done. Couldn't sit well for almost 2 weeks, but had no issues peeing or pooping. I bought donut ring cushion but didn't work for me.
