In November 2014, I ran for State Senate in Maryland. That morning, I woke up to these two messages on FB.

Hacked
Bridget E Kelly is 
feeling positive at Penn Medicine Chester County Hospital.
I got hacked yesterday in more ways than one. Again, my damn Facebook account was hacked. So in answer to all you thoughtful people who asked if I opened a 2nd account: No, the first one is enough. And then I got my gall bladder out. I guess I don’t really need my gall bladder and now I can get off my bland low fat, no dairy, dull diet. I feel great. Life is goo
Bridget E Kelly
I feel great already.
Joanne Murphy Pappalardo
Nothing is better than getting your gall bladder out! Glad you are feeling better.

Bridget E Kelly- I donated my gall bladder to science a decade ago and except for avoiding fatty food for a couple of weeks after, I haven’t missed it.
