DS is 17 and due to do his A levels this summer. He's really struggling with his throat and has been told he needs his tonsils out. Waiting list on NHS is well over a year so with family help we're paying privately, so can basically choose when to have the operation.
He has mocks in February and the real thing starting mid May.
I know the official line is that it takes 2 weeks to recover, but I'd be interested in hearing people's actual experiences of it. We're trying to work out which 2-week block would be the least disruptive in terms of his education. We considered the Easter holidays but thought that might be a bit close to the exams.
Any thoughts?
Thank you
