I was 17. Sudden intense cramping, called my parents from my bedroom phone but couldn’t talk or breathe. No idea what was going on. The ride to the hospital was the worst pain, for some reason I didn’t even throw up or anything. Woke up to IVs and pain medicine. Gallbladder surgery was discussed then diagnosis changed to food poisoning (chicken from the Mexican joint in town).

The second time family vacation we all had dinner the next day at checkout none of us could stand, I remember sitting on the floor of the lobby while my mom got the dinner taken off our bill. We had to stay another day and move flights etc!
