spizza - glad to hear that your recovery is progressing well. I'm still not adventurous enough to try the chocolate peanut butter milkshake, but it sure does sound good.
With regard to the nasal wash, I can't agree with you more. Since none of us have actually addressed this issue, I'll share my "technique".
I used a 60cc syringe (the same size that Standford gives you for food) filled with saline. I "shot-up" each sinus four to five times. Cleaning out the sinuses was definitely one of the highlights of my days. In fact, at 4 and a half weeks, I still look forward to the nasal lavage.
Although it's possible to make saline by adding salt and baking soda, I used pre-mixed packets and added distilled water.
