And THAT was just for bunions. You're doing reconstructive?

..........

Keep in mind, Shades, that he will have Heatherbalm (I assume) helping heal up.

If only we had that here. :)

Oh, yes!

Simey!

I SEE YOU

My thoughts? Depending on how long damage was sustained -

Simes? Ah! There you are.

Between therapy and 'Balm, it

is a not a thing that resolves itself after, like, two days.

I mean, it would depend on Balm successes. And how much work is put into the physical therapy.

But, salt. Huge grains.

nod Makes sense. At least because of what Shades said....

You've grown used to compensating.

nod You don't even know you're doing it. That's just the way you walk that doesn't hurt.

And let's be honest, grafted nerves can be healed, but still not function quite the same.

Yeah. Ouch, Shades

A'ight, going in...

Last question, then. Could he 'game' the system and go in to one hospital, heal with Heatherbalm, and then go to another without them being any the wiser? Assuming he took with him the original assessment and recommendations?

Waiting 9 months (like Shades did) so as not to make mundanes suspicious is....excruciatingly slow, really.

Ummm... could, but might be far easier to adjust his chart to say that his surgery is TOMORROW, on the left hand... (after having surgery TODAY, on the right...)

Fuddle the doctor - No, you didn't do this yet.

Or, isn't that odd, ANOTHER hand patient today? Oh well, wash up.

Raises hand If there are still scars, if the HB doesn't take it all.....

That would take a lot more cantrip power than he has...Actor, Time (duration) and then successes for the surgical team.

I am sure there will be scars.

And yeah. If it doesn't.

But Balefire healing is close to the same, if slower.

I mean, my last surgery was done a year ago, and it's clear as day. The first one isn't as bad but still visible.

I'd have thought - you get stabbed with a sword, heatherbalm immediately, WOW, it's closed, good as new! Balefire healing is just accellerated natural healing, so you'd have a big fuck-off sword cut scar.

Good point, Rae.

(And yeah, on EBG. G)

But, that's my assumption, the rules are rather (probably purposefully, but maddeningly) vague.

I think it comes down to: whatever makes the best story?

Heatherbalm seems to be ANH too, but fresh and quick vs. combined with natural healing.

ANH?

augmented natural healing? (guessing!)

I am a stickler for realism, Autumn Person for sure. I don't want to 'shake off' consequences, but based on all the input here (thanks, everyone)....

I do think "best story" trumps

Can get two extremities done, maybe more if persistent, Jeff is good at that, so is Thirteen, double-team the doctors....

Oh, interesting. Heatherbalm can cure disease. I didn't know that.

It's treated the same as poison, where severe or vicious cases are considered aggravated (and require glamour) but totally doable.

Will heal completely with scars, BUT require physical therapy or at least slow recovery because of present compensation issues.

I didn't think it did, where is that?

Disease and Poison
Poison and human diseases affect changelings like they do
mortals. Fae who have access to the Glamour of freeholds, however,
do not generally die by mundane means — their powers of
recuperation are better than that. Health Levels lost to disease or
poison are assumed to be normal wounds for the purposes of
healing. Once the changeling is healed, she is cured. Severe
diseases and vicious poisons are treated as aggravated wounds.

HL lost to.

Where is that, though? Chuckie was playing a satyr with AIDS who was incurable.
