My wife had sinus surgery performed about a year ago. FYI - I asked her about it and she said it took here about 3 weeks to recover. She says she can breathe much better now and a side benefit for me is that she rarely snores now.
I was having issues - lots of sinus infections, congestion etc. It turned out to be triggered by allergies - I started using rhino-cort (steroid spray for nose) and it cleared me right out.
Since you can't blow your nose - can you use a saline spray to thin things out? I use an aerosol called "simply saline" - it comes in a little white spray can and works great. It doesn't sting as much as the saline sprays in the little squeeze bottles - it has less preservative since it is in a sealed can.
Take it easy and good luck.
