as you know - craig had sinus surgery but was a bad patient however, I think he only stayed home 2-3 days, it was a quick recovery
you have to wait for the swelling to go down but they give you 'stuff' to take

I had it in college, but I did not have a normal experience. I had a cyst in my sinus which was removed. Unfortunately I hemorraged from the packing & my face blew up. But, my doctor gave me steroids believe it or not & the puffiness went away & I was back to normal. It took for me 2 weeks as I remember, but again that is not a normal situation. I would say a few days for normal recovery.

Good luck!

They are correcting my septum, opening my maxillary sinuses, removing polyps, and shrinking the turbinase(sp?)
