Just wanted to bump this back up.
They removed the plastic splints last Tuesday. Instant relief. Still a little clogged up, but over the course of the past week I've done 3 sinus flushes a day. Nose still hurts a little. I definatley feel better afterwards.
btw, the splints I had in my nose were probably the size of the end of a plastic knife. They were held in by one stitch on each side.
I could have gone back to work this week, but the doctor didn't clear me to work until the 25th. So i'm taking it easy (relaxing) and doing whatever around the house.
On a side note, if anyone here has allergies or sinus problems, I would HIGHLY recommend doing the sinus flush. That stuff rocks and doesn't burn or anything.
