Too many unknown variables for anyone to answer/speculate. It could vary from if she's in good health, strength, has reasonably good mobility otherwise, mentally able to handle challenges then go for it --- to considering back off if lacking in such areas or at least preparing for providing her with lots of support in enduring and recovery.

I would say she is in relatively good health --for age 89. She has bad arthritis though in hands and feet, gets injections in her feet and knees right now. I worry about the general anesthesia at that age---I know it can possibly cause a post-anesthesia dementia that is sometimes temporary but sometimes permanent. She already is somewhat forgetful but certainly not dementia.
