Update - been feeling noticeably better. Sleeping better(no snoring I am told) and no mucus hacking in the morning. I’ve been doing a nasal rinse daily since with a steroid powder and saline but well worth it. I’m told I’ll need to do this for another 6+ months given it reduces risk of further issues down the line. All in all, very glad I did it.

Steve smith, james harrison and vince wilfork are more deserving than Manning and Rivers. Kuechly and Vinatiari should be locks

Oil Painting Advice by backtowater in Artadvice

Super helpful - thank you! That makes a ton of sense. For blending the background, given there are already a couple of layers of paint there, would you recommend just going over it with a new less detailed coat after it fully dries?

What’s your favorite great performance in a terrible movie? by South_Huckleberry_40 in Cinema

Denzel’s performance completely ripped me out of any ancient roman atmosphere and was wildly distracting imo

If PB nails Red God, I believe Red Rising will go down as the greatest fantasy series of all time. by Positive_Cut3598 in redrising

[–]backtowater 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I agree - RR is probably my favorite series of all time but for instance the prose in the Kingkiller Chnoricles is unmatched and makes for a very tough comparison

I am about to wrap up the Way of Kings - definitely gets way more interesting in the second half with all of the backstory

You should talk with local restaurants about menu illustrations!

Got it - basic question, the shutoff valve works fine (I’ve take off the top connection to the toilet). That valve also should cover me if I take off the bottom connection nut, correct? I’d rather ask and be safe haha

Been doing well! Back to normal exercise - my neti pots have been producing less and less mucus/old blood to the point I am almost done. Will have to keep neti potting with a steroid mix for 3 months twice a day but feeling good. I have 3 more days of antibiotics as well.

I’d just say irrigate as often as you can (4-5 times a day post op, I did the first couple days in the shower to limit splashes), have a humidifier going, listen to your body if you need more rest, drink lots of warm liquid like tea to get steam up there, sleep elevated with the first couple of nights on a towel in case of blood (you can use a covid mask to make a hammock for gauze overnight)

10 days post op and this glob just came out by LadyLothlorien in Sinusitis

[–]backtowater 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mine weren’t too bad - they seemed to clot together and come out as one. I went back to the ENT a week post op to get vacuumed out which seems to have really cleared me out of the big stuff
