Trying to walk on the balls of my feet

[sovay]

And then later in the evening my body apparently ran out of electrolytes and spent the next seven or eight hours in a nearly full-body cramp, which was much less fun than just about anything I had planned or imagined spending the rest of the night doing. We think I may have accidentally flushed all the salts out of my body. Today I am mostly prone and drinking Pedialyte. I have books and movies, but could use interesting links and also suggestions for electrolyte replacement that don't taste like Mixed Fruit. (No, we have no bananas, we have no bananas or I would have eaten them last night.)

There was a blurb about American soldiers donating their banana rations to English hospitals which saved hundreds of childrens’ lives, I think you wrote about it or perhaps one of the other 5 million sciency people I follow?

I don't think that was me! If you happen to remember where you read it, I'd love the information. (Or, you know, I could just search "banana rations English hospital donations" and proabbly find it.)

My serious sympathies on your salty popcorn diet.
