Can I ask where that was done and how it worked out?

Thank you guys for responding. The surgery was last Thursday, the stents
came out yesterday. When I saw them I couldn't believe they had been in my
nose, no wonder it hurt. He took out most of the stitches etc. yesterday.
Frankly, I was getting a bit overwhelmed and he stopped before he normally
would have and I see him again on the 29th. My sinuses are still a mess but
I think are gradually improving now (too slow for me).

Since you may have been through this, should I be blowing my nose at all
yet. I have used the Neil Med rinse and cannot believe all the crud the
comes out some times. He said I could start using the Nasonex again but I
didn't think to ask about Allegra-D or Sudafed. I think Afrin is out of the
picture too.

The bad news is he thinks we may need to go through this again (soon) to get
the frontal stuff he didn't get based on how well I do. The thought of
spending this years (2005) vacation recovering from another one of these
isn't much fun. My doctor said that these may re-accrue on a regular basis
and mentioned a Mao Clinic treatment for mold sensitivity. My allergist has
mentioned this before, I wonder what kind of luck people have with it.
Gentlemen thanks again for responding, I still seem to have lots of
questions about all of this. My particular case is in Davenport, Iowa.

All the best to you and your families.

Bob
