Good luck Ethan. I am actually getting mine out around the same time as yours, but next month. I'm not going to be tottally knocked out. But the Doc tells me I won't really know what is going on, just that I might hear some people talking or see some people in the room if I open my eyes from time to time. But you apparently you don't care/notice too much because you are under.
While in the waiting room for my consoltation visit, a kid and his mom was just coming out from getting it done. His cheeks were both puffy, and he was holding on to his mom by one arm. I assume you are still going to be lightheaded and not all there right after, of course. The doc told me to have someone else home with me 24 hours after the surgery, and should recover fully by 3 days.
Good luck! If you had back surgery you have nothing to worry about. This should be much easier, since it doesn't hurt while it is happening.
