[RC] Talked to Char - mark@xxxxxxxxxx

I called Char and talked to her and her mom, and she said it was ok to post an update.  She had emergency surgery for a perferated intestinal ulcer after having no idea she even had an ulcer.  She said the pain was excruciating...:-(  The lucky part of this was that she was getting ready to leave for a really remote ride, and had she suffered this emergency in a remote area where she could not be taken to the hospital immediately, the outcome very well could have been devastating. 

She seemed upbeat and still looking forward to Tevis - of course the first thing she asked the doctor was when she could ride again!  Keep her in your thoughts---
