Gallbladder Gladiator

Our front office staff orders out for lunch every Friday. After much discussion, we all settled on pizza. We usually choose some combination of vegetables and call it healthy enough. Today, someone had the bright idea to order meat. I ate three slices of veggie and a few bites of pepperoni before I was too full to go on. About thirty minutes after I returned to my office, I realized that I had made a terrible mistake. My gallbladder was pissed and I knew I had precious little time to find a hole to crawl into before I died. I packed up as quickly as I could and hit the front door running. I arrived home about fifteen minutes later and ran to my bathroom. After experiencing some things I will not share with you, I collapsed into bed believing death was imminent.
Miraculously, I drifted off to sleep and when I came to, I knew the worst of it had passed. I really hope I can keep this thing at bay. The last thing I need to pencil into my busy schedule is gallbladder surgery!
