JONESBORO -- Ron Carroll crunches one hand into a fist, smashes it into the palm of the other, grunts and precisely recalls every detail of the week in March 2013 that still haunts him.
Five years ago on a Saturday, he remembers, a piercing pain spawned from his gallbladder. He was urged to have surgery.
Not even 24 hours later, the Carrolls went to church and ate lunch at their favorite Jonesboro-based Italian restaurant, Lazzari Italian Oven. That Wednesday, while eating leftovers from Lazzarri's, Carroll's pain flared up and a second episode began.
Surgery became a necessity.
