So I'm a good candidate. I guess there are different ways of doing the procedure I will be put to sleep all but 15 min of the surgery. What a relief my dad was awake through his whole procedure. I will be given the c5 battery hoping to have both sides done but I guess ultimately it's the docs choice to do both sides at once or one at a time. The doctors assistant was very helpful kristan from evergreen health in Seattle Washington. I'm excited!!!
