I don't have anything to add to the above excellent advice, just a great big hug. I couldn't even believe how painful the episiotomy was. I couldn't walk for weeks, seriously. I think the salt baths felt the best.

But even with how bad mine was (3rd degree tears and episiotomy), it really healed great and doesn't hurt at all anymore. I didn't think it ever would, but its really amazing what our bodies can do!
