Anyone had surgery to correct a deviated septum?
How long were you out of the h2o?
Is it harder to regulate your exhalation on face-up SDK's than it was before?

The netti pot looks like a ceramic 'Alladin's Lamp'. This may sound gross, but I fill it with the hottest water I can stand and a pinch of kosher rock salt, lean over the sink, and pour it in one nostril, turning my head so the water pours out the other nostril. Once the water is gone, I refill it (with more salt) and do the other side. Usually, more than water comes out (the gross part), but I have not had a sinus infection since using the pot! Thought this may be worth a try before you have surgery and need to take 8 weeks of "down time'. :)
thanks, i've been using a netti pot fairly regulary for years. i even add a few drops of poroxide when infected.
