Good news for me, I think

He said its all about being the right candidate and some discs have better keels than others. He told me he has 95% success rate and I will be cleared for full activity with no limitations. I guess the ball is in my court now!

I'm glad to hear this, because I'm probably going to have my surgery with him.
