@RinTinTin wishing for you the very best tomorrow!! Keep sipping the teas and rinsing with salt water. I love those two things, too!
I've also heard that if there's no fever you should be ok to go.
I hate to pressure people to report in after immediately after their surgery but please report in as soon as you're up to it, can't stand the suspense!! (no pressure there, right?) You will do great, and so what if you have the sniffles afterwards? You'll be resting and drugged up so you won't notice.
Maybe I missed it, but what time do you report tomorrow? I always had to be there super early and I always woke up with a scratchy throat and chilled, I think nerves and just lack of sleep..
Please take care and best wishes for a go tomorrow.. You. Got. This!!
