                        I see that you did have the surgery.  Have you tried flushing with the saline solution.  I have a friend who even has to use a water pick to flush her sinuses.  A doctor told me that they experimented with coal miners.  By using the flushing the nose, they cut down the sinus infections of the miners by about 70 percent.
