My 3 yr old is having his tonsils out soon. In the letter it says to mix with as few people as possible in the two weeks after the op, for infection reasons I assume. Both grandmothers will be busting a gut to visit. Aibu to tell them they can't?

As long as you can trust them not to come if they are unwell. I know most people would be sensible and not pass on infections to vulnerable children, but not everyone is responsible. MIL had some kind of terrible respiratory infection requiring numerous doses of antibiotics and still turned up to see newborn DS (and we only found out afterwards 
) FIL just turned up last week with a bad dose of something to see three month old DD....

YABU and very over dramatic.
The guidelines are there to keep children out of nurseries and schools where there are all sorts of germs.
I'm pretty sure he will be safe in his own home with his grandmas

Only on facebook could you write such a low key and emotionally neutral post and be told you are being very over dramatic and panicking 
I'm neither of these, pretty chilled about it but read "as few people as possible" to mean "as few people as possible" but obvs don't want to offend the grannies who are both very nice!

Other parent happy to go with whatever I think is best, garmingirl. Which is both helpful and unhelpful in equal measures

Let them visit. If he was in hospital they would allow them to visit, so allow them to visit him at home. In my experience, Grandmas have the cleanest hands in the world! ( although that's just my experience).
