I wasn't a full-blown adult, but I was 16 and it took me a SOLID 2 weeks to get back to any sort of normal. It was the most pain I've ever been in in my entire life. I joke now that I would give birth a million times over (I've had 2 kids) over having a tonsillectomy again. That said - take 2 weeks but communicate you may need longer. Be sure to take your pain meds + eat your liquids (milkshakes, etc.) which will take the edge off.

Don’t remember exactly how long it took me to get over, but it was much worse than I thought it would be and totally SUCKED

I was 28 when I had my tonsils out. Took a week off; didn’t need the full week but at the time (2008), remote work wasn’t supported by my agency. You’ll probably be fine to work after a day or so if remote. But talk to HR and your doctor and ask what is covered/recommended in terms of recovery. Take the time that’s recommended. You’ve earned it.

Still WFH? What are other chambers doing for task management? Our chambers has been keeping up with assignments, incoming emails needing judge’s eyes, and written orders, all through Microsoft Planner. We share PDFs through Sharepoint folders. Although we still email draft orders back and forth, the system seems to work well enough. We still aren’t operating at our previous capacity because it takes 10x the number of steps to get a motion heard or an order entered—90% of our workload.
