How long to get over sinus enlargement surgery?

Hi Everyone,
I had sinus surgery on 9/25/26. Today is day seven. I guess I underestimated the whole thing. I am miserable. The worst part is dry mouth/cotton mouth at night and waking up gasping for air. I cannot breathe right yet and feel completely miserable overall. I am afraid to blow my nose. I started the nasal rinses two days ago and I think one side is blocked. How long is the recovery time? I have a follow up in one week. If anyone has any answers/feedback/stories, please do tell.

@rednikita15 hi…sorry to hear about your problems !
I am scheduled for a left maxillary Antrostomy this coming Wednesday . Which means he will open up the sinus for better drainage and remove dried pus and any current infectious tissue and hopefully eradication of the Pseudomonas that is there . I’m on oxygen full time so the Dr needs to prescribe a mask to be attached to my oxygen tank tubing as the cannula cannot be stuck up the nose sending dry air over an open wound .
Take good care and I hope you get better soon !
Were you put under general anesthesia ? I’m 85 years old and my pulmo Dr and Cardio Dr and having to give clearance to my ENT DR I will know tomorrow if it’s a go !
🙏🙏🙏
