Family, rally round.
Emily checked into the hospital in San Diego this morning (Tuesday) with abdominal pain. After much testing and no eating or drinking, she was finally operated on for appendicitis this evening. All seems to have gone well. The problem did not really show up on the CAT scan, so it was a bit tricky deciding whether to go ahead. Let us hope that she heals quickly and there is no further trouble.
This all began while the family was in Colorado for Peter's graduation. Hey Pete, congratulations! Another big life step conpleted - what do a few more summer courses matter? Happens to everyone who changes his major.
These details may be sketchy. Kathy filled me in on most of it, and I hope I got it right. (Thanks, Kathy, for keeping me posted as it went along.) I also hope someone will add details as they become available, as they say on the news programs. I talked to Emily just before the operation, and she was not looking forward eagerly to it, but convinced, I think, that it was the right move.
And all this when Cody's bike trip was to start next weekend in San Francisco. He, of course, spent the day at the hospital, as did Kathy. Not one of life's happiest surprises.
A gathering place for Kulkas and those who were once Kulkas but due to unfortunate circumstances have had to accept life's curve ball and begin going by some other name.

I'm really sorry that happened. I hope you get better soon, Emily. Good luck, Cody. Congratulations, Peter. Keep us posted on how everything goes.
I'm so sorry to hear this piece of bad news. Prayers are on the list for Emily's correct diagnosis and speedy recovery. If I lived in the same town, I'd come to your recovery room and do the pepto bismol dance until you laughed yourself well.
Congratulations to Pete. It could be much worse. I started college over 20 years ago, and I don't see graduation ahead of me any time soon.
Cody, if you miss the ride next week, you can take pride in knowing that taking care of an ailing wife can be much more of a challenge than riding a hundred miles a day for a week. Did I say challenge? I meant satisfaction. Yeah, that's what I meant.
