Again a few days later and much more of the packaging (solvable stitches) dropped out on one side. I definately have more air as i had before the operation. This is before all packaging from the other side is gone and before all swelling is gone. It would take a month for optimum results, but now im feeling much better as before.

I am sleeping deeper but that might be unrelated.

Perhaps you're sleeping better because you're not training as hard right now?

Maybe, there is a host of things to consider but i do know breathing through my nose really influences my sleeping. Only now am i realizing how little air i got through my nose before. Im not even healed fully and my other nose still has to expell the packaging stitches and such and i already have more air as i had the whole previous year.

But yes the training could also have impact as some other things too.

How's that kefir production going? How much do you drink per day? Did you get your wife onto it?

Kefir is going great not as fast as at your place.. I think i drink a 200ml glas every day. Once i get near the end of the kefir that i have in stock I take it out of the fridge and make 2 batches of around 1,5 liter each. The first batch takes 24 hours and the second one 48.

That should increase to 24 hours or less when you have enough kefir grain. The first batch is quick because it's already halfway there from being in the fridge for awhile. It's a great way to do it - I only had to do 3 batches in 3 days to have enough kefir to drink for over 2 weeks.

One thing that anyone needs to be careful about, in pursuing this kind of treatment, is that it sounds like the doctor is removing areas of the nasal mucosa inside the sinus to widen out/open up the sinus opening.

That may help with physical/structural sinus obstructions or sizing. But it also tends to damage and/or remove the nasal cilia (tiny waving hairs inside your sinuses) that helps move/clear out the mucus in the future.

I've had three rounds of endoscopic sinus surgery in the U.S. My sinuses aren't blocked like they were at the outset, due to a deviated septum and lots of infected sinus tissue. So I can breath through my nose most of the time now. But I still get sinus infections and my sinuses don't seem to fully drain naturally the way I'd hope they would.

The whole issue of finding effective sinus treatments, depending on the cause of the problem, is a really problematic one in the medical community.

Again a reply to this post, i did not realise it before but i got a deviated septum too. That is why its so easy to block my right side in comparison to the left. I never paid much attention to it as i did not know what it meant. Its not a term i had learned before. But when i came back to the Dr yesterday he told me it again and explained it was the bone that seperates both nostrils.

Anyway he put a camera in my nose and showed me the wounds in the nose. They are still there after almost 2 weeks. They are healing but there is still crusting on it. He had told me that this could take up to a month to fully heal. Actually seeing the wounds made me happy as it showed that it could get even better as it currently is. Currently i can breathe much better as before the operation (that is before full recovery) Sense of smell has increased too. Funny that before i never realised how blocked i was.

You need to take the antibiotics. Yes, of course, you have had surgery in an area where you are prone to infection. Whatever made you think otherwise?

Please keep us updated as it is a procedure that I should really have but discounted as I really thought it might not work and provide only temporary benefit.

I appear to suffer exactly the same condition as you, good luck, hope all goes well.
