My wife also has sinus surgery. Her's was to open up the nose area and they remove so bones. She had to do the sinus rinses daily. And yes for couple weeks had small clots and bleeding but it did get better and she now breathes a lot better. Try to keep up your nasal rinses. They help clean the sinuses even if you did not have sinus surgery.

Bending over brings blood to your brain and sinuses. Would have thought that increase in blood flow would cause some pain and discomfort when bending over.

Did you asked your surgeon about using a cold pack for sinuses and or sinus pressure. I used in and helped. My wife also did it and helped.

Try to keep your head up and not down which increases blood flow to head and sinuses. Lifting heavy objects will cause a rise in BP which can cause headaches and also may lead to increase in bleeding in sinus surgery area as BP goes up.

It takes time. Do you like to read. How about treating yourself to a movie (at home). Do some research on sinus surgery and recovery on your comuter. Just keep busy.

Don't be so hard on yourself. You had surgery on your sinuses and is one of the most sensitive and slow recovery. But from my surgeons and ENT keep up those sinuses rinses. I am told to do them even now to keep my sinuses clean, move out pollen and dust. It will help rinse out scabs, dried blood, etc.
Hang in there it will get better. I had two sinuses surgeries and my wife had one.
