I'm 27 so I mostly qualify as an adult. I am actually headed to the the doctor's office this morning for a 2 week checkup on my procedure. I had my tonsils removed on December 22nd. The pain hasn't been very bad when I'm just lying around the house, but eating anything other than milkshakes a week in was out of the question.
Then I had bleeding last Monday, and had to be rushed in for emergency surgery to recauterize the spot that opened up, so it set back my recovery a little bit. I stopped taking my painkiller yesterday and went back to work, but I'm still on a liquid/soft diet for another 4/5 days.
Overall I would say the recovery isn't too bad, but you definitely need to make sure you take it easy and don't push yourself. That will increase the pain. At a minimum, schedule he surgery for a Friday and don't plan on working until the next Monday.
I got an infection in my throat in October that kept coming back as soon as I went off of antibiotics. In addition, my snoring and sleep apnea got out of control. The last few nights are the first time I've sleep wel in months. It's been nice.
