Chapter 156 : Published at 27th of March 2019 10:37:43 PM Chapter 156 I watched over the rabbits for

I watched over the rabbits for a few days . The 1st rabbit was healing pretty well, it could now walk and all . It still had some difficulties fully utilising its leg but it seemed to function . The 2nd rabbit was a bit more unlucky . It wasn't because the procedure went badly, it was due to attempting an escape . It hurt its hind leg even more during the struggle . There was no other option for me but to end its life . 'It would die anyway, a wild animal without a hind leg is doomed to be hunted down . Even if the leg stayed attached, the rabbit would no longer be able to use it' I thought and killed the rabbit .

I decided to give my own arm a try . Having some experience with rabbits was not a lot but it was something . I was quite pressed for time as well . I had only couple of days left, before I had to attempt the procedure on myself or use medicine to prolong the "freshness" of my arm in the bag .

I chose the former option . 'It's better to give it a try now, especially since it worked . I don't want to go down the route of preserving my arm even more, this can produce some very difficult problems later' I thought and started the preparations . I had to make more poison as well as loads more medicine . The Trantum Solution had to be created also . 'One batch of solution should be enough from my estimates' I thought . What I had was the human arm, it's structure was much more complex than a rabbit's and it was bigger in size . My arms were quite skinny, so 1 bach would be enough to attach it back together . If I was a burly guy, I would probably need 2 batches .

I started by preparing the poison . When that was done, I made medicine . I made a stronger medicine, which was called Healing Essence . It was much better compared to Vital Liquid that I used on the rabbits . With the poison and the medicine done, I prepared for the Trantum Solution . I wanted to rest my mind before starting the process of creating the solution . This would allow me to be in my peak condition .

I relaxed for about 30 minutes and then started the process . I paid much more attention this time and tried to make the solution even better . After about an hour of dealing with the solution . I finally had the usable Trantum Solution stored in a container . 'I don't know if it's alright or not, the icy blue colour is even more apparent now . Maybe it's just due to the winter season herbs used as replacement' I thought and prepared myself for the procedure .

I took it more seriously this time . Not only was this my own arm, it was also much bigger compared to that of rabbit's leg . I didn't use the needle and a thread before because the rabbit's leg was too small for my needles . Besides, a rabbit would never be able to exert similar strength compared to mine . The arm hard to stay attached and work under great pressures and weights . It had to be multifunctional and be able to execute skills . Sewing my arm together was a must in my case . I prepared the bone needles and the replacement of a thread, tendons .

If everything went right, I wouldn't have to worry about that after couple of months . My arm would grow new skin and attach itself properly . The bones would also connect by themselves after some time and the arm would be like brand new . 'At least that is in theory' I thought .

I started the procedure from unwrapping a part of my right arm, that was still attached to my body . The wound started to heal by itself and the skin covered some stuff already . I had to make some cuts in order to expose the muscles, nerves and whatnot . I applied poison first, to numb the arm . The amount I needed to apply was extremely greater, compared to the amount I gave to the rabbits . With my arm numb all over, I made some cuts with my dagger .

I could still feel some pain but I knew that adding more poison, would not solve that problem . I was operating on my own arm, I could see what I was doing to myself . My brain immediately a.s.sumed it hurts, even if no nerves were touched . I took out the severed part of my arm from the bag and cleaned it as well .

'I have to position my arm in correct way . This way, I can work on it from all sides' I thought and used the wooden blocks as supports . I had to have access to my arm from all sides and because it was attached to me, I had limited movements . When I finally positioned and aligned the two parts of my arm together, I started by connecting the bone . The bone was cut cleanly and there were no sharp edges . This was good news . Otherwise, there might be some defects and further complications in the future . I applied loads of Trantum Solution and medicine, much more than for a rabbit .

With the bones attached, I still couldn't relax . 'Now, I need to connect back my muscles . The muscles will repair themselves after a while, I just need to align them properly and make sure that no strand is left hanging' I thought and started st.i.tching my muscles back . The pain became much more severe at this point, I added a bit more poison to my open wound . This numbed my arm even more but at least the pain lessened .

'I can't use any more poison for now, I have to continue like this . Any more and my left arm can become numb as well and I can't have that' I thought and continued st.i.tching my muscles back together . I already used half of the Trantum Solution, as I was applying it generously . With my muscles connected, it was time for the next step .

'Now the nerves . I already memorised the diagram from the book . Looking at my arm and all the nerves exposed, the diagram is about right . The main part is to connect the correct nerves back' I thought and started working on each nerve, one at a time .

When I touched one of the nerves in order to connect it back, the pain intensified immediately . It was to the point, I almost shed tears from the pain . I gritted my teeth as I knew there is no return now . Adding more poison would solve this probably but it could also make things even more difficult . I connected the first nerve, then the second and so on . When the last nerve was connected, I was covered in sweat . The pain lessened a bit and due to the medicine I applied together with the solution, it became more bearable . Connecting the nerves back together on my own arm, was a h.e.l.l of a task to accomplish .

"Gasp… Gasp . . . Haaaah… Now, I just need to connect the veins and sew it together . This should not be as painful" I said out loud . The time it took me to connect all the nerves together was about 23 minutes . I could apply a bit more poison now that so much time pa.s.sed . With my arm numbed a bit more, I started to connect the veins . I could feel some pain still but it was nothing in comparison to the pain that the nerves gave me .

There was some bleeding when I tried to connect the veins but it was nothing major . It took me only couple of minutes to attach all the veins back together . "I'm almost done . I just need to st.i.tch both parts of my arm with the bone needle and the tendons, I can then apply some medicine on top . Cloth and sticks will finish the procedure" I said to myself .

Attaching the tendons onto the needle, was not easy but I managed somehow . Each tendon was quite short, so I had to do it multiple times while working by sections . Just to make sure, I st.i.tched my arm twice then added the rest of the Trantum Solution all over the wounded area . I topped that with medicine and wrapped my arm in a cloth, while attaching some sticks around it just to keep is nice and stiff .

"It's done . Hopefully, I will be able to use my arm . I need to wait couple of days and apply medicine constantly, before I will see the results . This was much more difficult than doing it on a rabbit" I said to myself and laid down . I was tired, this procedure took away most of my mental strength and focus . Not only was the pain intense during the part where I had to connect my nerves, it was also a stressing matter . I worked on my own arm, there were no second chances if I messed up . I watched over the rabbits for a few days . The 1st rabbit was healing pretty well, it could now walk and all . It still had some difficulties fully utilising its leg but it seemed to function .
