My oddessey of the apendix continued on Tuesday with a general improvement. I drank juice, ate jello, and even had some beef bouillion and it tasted amazing. I asked to get out of bed, walked around a lot, talked to the doctors, and they said I was doing good enough that I might be able to go home today. I really wanted that. In the end they decided against it and I asked if I could get that decision repealed. After some duscussion, they agreed to let me go home. Then as a test they gave me real food to see if I could eat it. I ate it without issues and they discharged me and all was good in the world.

I am taking this week off from my normal posting style. My apendix burst at 6AM on Monday. I called 911 at 7:30 and was at the hospital by 8. At 10 their tests told me what was wrong and they pumped me full of antibiotics. They had me in surgery at 2:15 and they managed to do it with two small incisions rather than one big one. There were multuple perferations in the apendix. Major burst. Then I did not wake up from anesthesia. Racing heart. High blood pressure. When I finally came up for air they sent me to ICU for Monday night. It was a long day for me that I did not plan.

Easter is an old holiday. Long ago it was in celebration of a fertility goddess of the same name. The rise of Christianity brought with it the adaptation of many existing holidays to new meanings. Easter became a celebration of the rise Jesus from the grave and his promise to return one day in glory.

Our friends in Marauders earned a fearsome reputation for neutralizing Chinese defenses in the Hyades. Their craft truly were designed for striking larger opponents, but the Chinese adapted. We were forced to adapt as well, and we tested many new weapons to break the Chinese pickets. The most successful was a new generation of torpedo weapon. Similar to the rockets of our Pre-Contact fleets, the Marauders were uniquely suited to carrying their heavy payloads. That made bomber squadrons like VMSB-413, the Flying Nightmares, extremely valuable in the Hyades once combat trials proved the new weapon worked.

Yosemite Station hit the Apache real hard when it came down. They lost a lot of people when their capital got pulverized. But there’s something about the Apache that the Shang didn’t reckon. The Spanish spent centuries learning it. The Mexicans learned too. So did the Americans when we came. We all learned that the Apache thrive on competition with their fellow Apache. And we all remember them as fierce warriors and skillful strategists. Now the Shang can rest easy knowing the same thing. Not that I think they enjoyed the lesson of course.
