After much consideration, I have chosen to heed the recommendations of the healers in this world and allow them to perform what they feel will be a beneficial procedure. To have even a fraction of my old strength again would be most welcome, and, I believe, well worth the risk.
[ooc: I'm going to put a trigger warning on this just in case, since I know from personal experience that talk of surgery and physical therapy can be a bit difficult to stomach, even if it's only referenced a tiny bit.]
