UGH, THIS THING JUST RESTARTED!

Ah, I felt a bit better (less sleepy) after a nap... yay! Got an email from Kevin: I have no idea how much formula costs, but apparently I have to pick that up along with multivitamins, two cans of meat / tuna / salmon (I do that to myself because Vanessa can't contribute), and a box of herbal tea. Good job of giving me two of the most expensive items, Kevin... I can see myself looking at the store display for HOURS trying to decide which of the various options to buy! Maybe I'll do that on Wednesday, too - they should have that somewhere reasonably nearby. Then again, Jane's told me the cost of formula ($12-25 USD?!)... I already put in a swap request since Kevin said we could if we wished, but I AM SO SURPRISED! Yikes... at least I know the approximate cost of multivitamins, herbal tea boxes, and canned meat / fish! No, I am not complaining about the cost... this blog is merely a record, after all.


Poo nugget for Monday, Mar. 9: Dr. Stool Says - Beware of Dangerous Floaters! Extremely foul-smelling, greasy, floating stool is much more worrisome than innocuous floaters. These symptoms usually include the presence of fat in the stool. This is never normal and often reflects an underlying problem in the GI tract, most commonly involving the pancreas or liver. The pancreas, liver, and gallbladder normally team up to help the body digest the fat we consume. When these organs become diseased, dietary fat passes through our GI tract undigested and results in the formation of floating, "oil-slick" stool.
