Limits

I fainted the rabbit again, I needed to create a solid cage in order to watch over it. Creating a cage from wood was not the best choice. The rabbit could chew through it eventually and I did sleep during the night. I also didn't have any nails or things that could be used to make such cage. I opted to use heavy stones as the cage. I would create a circular cage that consisted of heavy stones. The stones would be stacked on top of each other and seal the rabbit inside. 'With heavy stones surrounding it, the rabbit should be unable to escape. Besides, with its injured leg, I hope it doesn't move a lot' I thought and proceeded with my plan.

I collected some bigger stones for the base and then some more to stack them on top. The rabbit would have a bit of room inside and it could stay there comfortably. I placed some animal furs inside the cage, this would prevent the rabbit from freezing during the night. I also left some common herbs that can be used to create medicine. There were no berries in the forest due to winter, that was the only food I could provide the rabbit with. I also had a lot of basic medical herbs due to me collecting them in the past. I placed the rabbit inside and covered the opening with a stone.

The "cage" was well ventilated and the rabbit had enough food for the day. When it woke up, it would probably try to escape. It would have to give up quickly due to the injury as well as the stone cage, which made it impossible for it to go out.

I still had enough poison left for another rabbit and decided not to make another batch. I had enough solution but the medicine was running out. I prepared to make more medicine. I wanted to have it in case the 1st rabbit needed more, the 2nd rabbit would require some medicine as well. I could cut another leg from the same rabbit but it could affect its recovery. A new and fresh rabbit, would be more suitable.

There was no point catching the rabbit that day, I needed to rest and relax for a bit. The procedure was really exhausting and attempting another one the same day, might result in complications which I didn't need at that point. For the rest of the day, I read the Nerves and Pressure Points book as well as the Corporeal Structure book just to make sure I had all the details correct.

The next day, I checked on the rabbit. Fortunately, it didn't injure its leg further, the wrapped cloth and sticks were still there, while the herbs I left for it to eat were gone. When the rabbit saw me, it was scared of me a lot. It probably thought that I might do something to it again. I fainted the rabbit and took it out of its stone cage.

When I unwrapped the cloth and checked the leg, I noticed that it started to heal pretty well. There didn't seem to be anything wrong and in a week or so the leg should full heal, provided medicine was applied to it. I washed the cloth and squeezed out as much water as I could, I then applied more medicine onto the rabbit's leg and wrapped the cloth as well as the sticks around it. 'The leg should heal just fine but to make sure, I will do the same process with another rabbit. I will give this one a few more days and then I will try to do my own arm' I thought as I placed the rabbit back into its cage.

I went into the forest to catch another rabbit. This didn't take me long and soon I was back with a brand new rabbit. I fainted it, just like the 1st one and prepared more medicine, before I started the procedure again.

In about 30 minutes, I was ready to start. I took the fainted rabbit, positioned it and cut its leg off. I severed the hind leg this time. Rabbits used their hind legs in order to jump around. I wanted to see what effects will my procedure have on that rabbit. The rabbit woke up just like the previous one and I applied some poison to its wound. I applied 1 more drop this time, to lessen the pain faster.

With the rabbit calming down and the pain subduing, I fainted it straight away. This way, I could work on the bleeding much easier. With the wound wrapped in cloth, I waited for it to stop bleeding. After about an hour or so, I started the procedure.

I was already a bit experienced with this, so the procedure went a bit more smoothly. I knew what to expect and I knew the order of the tasks, I needed to carry out. After about 35-40 minutes, the hind leg of the rabbit was attached back together. I did the same wrapping as I did with the 1st rabbit and let it sleep for a while. 'This went smoothly as well. This is good, it means I should be able to do it with my own arm as well. I just have to build a stone cage for this rabbit and monitor them for a few days. When I'm sure that there are no complications, I will try to repair my own arm' I thought and started collecting stones for the cage.

With another stone cage constructed, I placed the 2nd rabbit inside and left some herbs for it to eat. I check on the 1st rabbit and I noticed that it seemed to accept its fate of not being able to escape. I threw in some more herbs to the cage and said "Don't worry, I will release you in couple of days. I just need to check how your leg heals" and sealed the exit. It might sound stupid when a human talks with a rabbit but with the little interactions I had lately and the lost arm, saying something out loud was a nice thing once in a while.

I relaxed for the rest of the day while reading some books. I was already at the last chapter of the Corporeal Structure book. The 6th chapter described the inner workings of the so called sensing organs. Those were the ears, nose, tongue as well as eyes. The book described a bit about how each organ is able to perceive those senses but also ways to tackle basic defects and the overall healthcare of the sensing organs.

The 7th chapter was about the human brain. The book called it "The most complex organ in human body". There wasn't much information in the book about the brain. Only some generalisations, such as the brain was responsible for storing the memory and it could do it for much longer than a human's average lifespan. It also explained memory types and how all the nerves are connected with the brain.

The last chapter of the book was very interesting. Although it contained a lot of generalisation, I still learned a lot from it. I also started the "Pressure Points" section from the Nerves and Pressure Points book. The book had a nice diagram, with all the pressure points available in human body. It also described what functions those points governed and possible ways of using them for treatment.

The book didn't contain any knowledge referring to combat use of these pressure points but it did highlight possible problems, if certain pressure points were struck. This provided me with some ideas about a skill concerning the pressure points. Besides the skills, I could also use that knowledge to stop bleeding or numb the pain. Although I had no way of training right now, I added it to the "Create new skill from this" list. Late in the evening, when I read both books from cover to cover, I went to sleep.
