Be patient and gentle on yourself - you just had major surgery! My recovery was also difficult (I had the complete roto rooter job, too). It took much longer than I thought and, yes, I had the most horrible smell in my head for weeks! I spent 3 weeks pretty much in bed (caught up on all my missed tv shows on NetFlix, though :). Get off the pain pills and just a Dr. approved analgesic as soon as you can and you'll feel much better. Once I started rinsing my nose, the most horrendous stuff came out! It was like alien life forms were living in there. My surgery was 3/31/11 and today is 11/4/11. I still use the sinus rinse daily and literally feel like a new person. I feel that I am almost completely recovered and it was SO worth it! No more sinus sprays, pills or suffering for me.
