Let's talk about snot for my 100th post, what do ya say!?
Seriously, since I got the splints out things have been really good.  My septum isn't nearly as sore as it was, just a little bit.  Sinus rinses are whole new experience for me.  I wasn't very good about doing them before because I never really got good results.  But now whenever I do it, the good just kinda comes out almost on its own!  The first couple of times after getting the splints out I got some clots, but nothing too horrible.  Now its slime, but I don't even have to blow hard to get it out.  I just kind of exhale through my nose to get the water out and this stuff comes with it.  Its great!!  I think the water is able to flow through my sinuses the way its supposed to now so the rinses are actually working!  YAY!
I can tell I'm moving air better too.  I can sit for long periods of time breathing through my nose and I don't feel short of breath at all.  So, as miserable as I was the week after the surgery I am glad that I did it.  I do hope I never have to do it again....but I would if I had to.
