Are you down to RP out a slow recovery and life-long trauma, or do you want that just-fixed band-aid? There's a lot of room to consider both physical and psychological consequences (something most people don't think about -- a person relying on their body to make a living IS going to be devastated and shocked by a potentially crippling injury.

Talk to the healer, too! Writing healers is often a thankless job, support your support class and communicate about how they imagine the injury developing and recovering.

This is a good point to consider too. I think in general talking to the healer about how effective they want their magic to be is a good idea. It's why I generally let them be successful even though my character doesn't respond well to magic healing; there are just consequences that don't necessarily have anything to do with their skill and I make sure they can adjust to them on the fly.

In my case, when my character was rendered helpless by severe injury, she never truly recovered and it still affects her judgment regularly.

How to properly RP this injury?
