Limits Chapter 154

The solution had an icy blue colour but besides that, it seemed fine . 'Now I just have to test it . We will see how this works out' I thought and picked up the rabbit, it was still asleep . I took out my dagger and positioned the rabbit in a way where its leg could be cut off . With one swift movement, I severed the leg from the rabbit . The rabbit woke up immediately and started crying from the pain . I held it down with my leg and retrieved the poison in order to numb its pain .

It was quite hard to apply the poison onto the wound as the rabbit struggled but I managed somehow . After 3 drops of the poison, the rabbit calmed down a little but it was still bleeding . I quickly wrapped a cloth around its leg and let it stop the bleeding . The poison soon took proper effect and the rabbit stopped struggling .

'I just have to wait a while for the bleeding to stop and then I can proceed with the experiment . The rabbit's leg is much less complex than human's hand, so I should have no problems attaching it back together' I thought and prepared all the tools as well as solution and medicine .

After about 30 minutes, the rabbit started whining again so I added another drop of the poison to its wound . 'It doesn't bleed as much anymore, I think about an hour more and this rabbit should be ready for the procedure' I thought and waited . The rabbit would start complaining once in awhile about its pain, I would apply more poison when that happened . The poison wouldn't harm it in those small doses and it only lasted for a while, that was why the rabbit could feel pain again after a some time has passed .

When another hour passed . I added some more poison to the wound, just to be sure and fainted the rabbit . 'It's time to start' I thought and unwrapped the cloth around the rabbit's front leg . 'First I need to clean the wound and then cut away any fur or whatnot . This will give me access to all the nerves, muscles and veins' I thought . I took out my dagger and placed it over the fire, this was in order to sterilise it . With the dagger heating up nicely . I took out a cloth and submerged it into the cold water, then wiped the blade of the dagger with the cloth, cleaning it .

I started cutting away all the unnecessary fur and skin . I then cleaned the wound using the previously boiled water and did the same to the severed part of the rabbit's leg .

I could see the nerves and muscles connecting as well as the bone damage and whatnot . Thanks to my daggers being quite sharp, the leg was cut very precisely . I did it that way due to my own injury . The attack of that sword woman not only severed part of my arm, it also did it quite cleanly .

With all the preparations complete, I positioned the severed part of rabbit's leg, together with what remained of that leg and rotated it to find the correct alignment . When I found the alignment, I could now start working . I only had one hand so holding the leg and working on it was impossible, I instead set up some wooden blocks, which I made earlier . Those were small wooden blocks but that was enough to support the rabbit and its cut leg . It would be enough for me to support my arm as well .

With my "table" set up, I started my work . First, I added some medicine to the bone for it to heal . I also added the Trantum Solution around the edges of the bone, so that it would bind it together . This was to prevent other issues popping up in the later stages . With the bone now connected back with the medicine and solution, I had to take care of muscles, nerves and veins .

The rabbit's leg was nothing extraordinary . 'There are couple of veins here but not that many, this should not be difficult . The muscles are a bit bigger problem, now that I can see this properly . I hope the solution will do the job . The nerves are also fine from what I can see' I thought and started by connecting the muscles .

I applied the solution and used tweezers to match the cut areas, then "glued" them together . Muscles in overall, had the ability to recover and attach back together but they had to be aligned precisely . Otherwise, there may be some complications later . It took me about 20 minutes just to align and stich those muscles back together but after a long battle, I was finally able to do so .

'Now, I just have to connect the nerves and the veins . I will leave the veins for later, those still contain blood and I don't want the rabbit to start bleeding for no reason now' I thought and took care of the nerves first . The difficult part of attaching the nerves, was their size . They were even smaller than vein . It was quite fiddly to apply the solution as well as connect them in proper way .

Another 10 minutes passed and the nerves were connected . 'Whew! This is hard work and it's only a rabbit . The only thing left to do, is to connect the veins and then apply the medicine on top of the whole wound . I can then wrap it with cloth and stiffen it using some sticks' I thought and continued the final part of the procedure .

The veins in the part of rabbit's leg, that was still attached to the main body, contained blood . When I opened those veins, blood started to flow out, this was expected and I worked on one vein at a time . Attaching them with solution, then adding medicine in order to stop the bleeding and adding more solution on top, to bind them properly .

With all the veins attached after a while, the procedure was pretty much completed . I smeared the whole leg in medicine and added extra on the injured part . I then wrapped the whole leg in cloth, which made it quite stiff and also added sticks around it, to increase the rigidity .

'I'm done . It took a while, even though it was a rabbit but it seemed to go well . We will see the results in a day or two' I though and relaxed a bit near the fire . The procedure took a lot of strain on my focus . I had to work with those details all the time, making sure no mistakes were allowed . I was quite satisfied with my first attempt and thought 'Maybe I should try with a bigger animal next . I still have about half of the Trantum Solution left, although this might not be enough for stuff like wolf… I should try another rabbit before anything else' .

The rabbit woke up after another 30 minutes and started whining again . I made it drink some more medicine and said "I know you can't speak but thanks to you, I might be able to connect back my own arm . I will release you when your wounds are healed . You will get back your life and hopefully your leg works as well" . I prepared to watch over the rabbit for the next day or two in order to check properly, if the leg healed or not .
