Go with the surgery. It may be a drag, but by looking back in hindsight you'll find that your recovery time wasn't that long afterall.

Never had surgery, but a few years ago I worked some kiddieball games with a guy who was 6 months removed from major knee reconstructive surgery. While he was able to get on the diamond and do base games, he was nowhere near mobile enough to do 90 foot diamond ball. He also had to sit on the bench between half-innings, and needed tylenole to get him through doubleheaders. I think his biggest mistake was trying to do too much too soon, but even so he made a very speedy recovery. ****
