#mending report

Dawnward Dawnbrook,

Late last Friday night I mended Lightward Siildore Frostlotus in the Dalaran Infirmary; she had been injured in the assault on the Nighthold. Lightward Frostlotus had suffered minor burns which had been treated during triage immediately after the event, and had had her arm severed during the confrontation with Gul’dan. Surgery was delayed until Friday because her arm needed to be found in the chaos, which took several hours -- thankfully, undeath spared the Lightward any sustained nerve damage because of the delay.

Using blood and shadow magic I reattached the Lightward’s arm and restored it to functioning order. The Lightward was officially released from the infirmary yesterday, although she will need to report to either you or I for physical therapy -- I am happy to continue handling this, as I know that death knights are a particular specialty of mine because of my magical affinities. In either case, she presently suffers from some lack of mobility and strength in her arm, which will need to be handled through therapy and mobility exercises. It is considerably less, however, than it could have been if the arm hadn’t been found. I expect that she will regain most, if not all, of the mobility in her arm over time, with mild scarring and some weakness in the reattached muscles where they were severed.

I will leave it in your best judgment to decide when she is fit to return to the field; in my professional opinion, I would recommend at least another three weeks of physical therapy before she is allowed to return to battle. Although death knights are in a unique position to recover quickly from serious damage, I am worried that the shadow mending may be ill-equipped to handle a rushed diagnosis, and will work better when combined with rest and rehabilitation.

There is one thing I wish to bring forth for your consideration: shadow and blood magic do not particularly allow me to assess whether there has been any fel corruption or other corruption of the recently attached appendage. I would suggest that you or another qualified light user meet with Lightward Frostlotus and ensure that the limb isn’t harmed by its contact with Gul’dan. I am happy to find a volunteer if you do not have any suggestions as to who may be equipped to handle such a task.

If you have any questions please let me know.

Sincerely,

Lightward Os’golde Firefall

The nap had been sorely needed. As had the sleep. (And the blood transfusion, she admitted to herself quietly; blood magic was always best done with extra on hand -- and surgery most of all. It wouldn’t do to pass out on her patients.) Os’golde sat back down at her desk, yawning softly as she pulled a piece of parchment and a pen into her hands, sitting them down gently on her well-organized desk.

Dawnward Dawnsworn,

I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to inform you, as the Suncaster Liason, of a recent mending that took place last Tuesday within the Dawnspire Infirmary. Lightward Vivvienne Duskcatcher requested mending of her injured hand. Her hand had been bitten by wild hounds during her volunteer service in Tottenham -- and a week prior by fel hounds. While a previous mender had seen to the external wounds, she had extensive nerve damage to her hand, leaving it functionally useless.

Utilizing blood magic, I performed surgery to reconnect and rehabilitate the nerve endings that were still in functioning condition. Her hand is functional once more -- although she may experience some numbness in the pads of her fingers. I was not able to fix everything.

She will be returning for therapy and rehabilitation; I sent her home with average pain medication and a list of rehabilitation exercises she is to perform at home. Outside of her hand, she’s very physically healthy; I saw no reason for her to remain in the infirmary on bedrest, provided she was gentle with the hand. She is, in my opinion, perfectly fit to attend the campaign in Suramar -- provided she doesn’t attempt to lift any heavy objects or become a swordsman any time soon.

If you have any questions please let me know.
