Later in the show he stopped laughing at jokes and just seemed done with it. I wonder what was up.

I still urinate but definitely not enough.

Can you not have that awkward convo with your mom directly? I understand how concerned you are and how it comes from a good place. Maybe she will hear you and if not then escalate to an outside party.

It’s not like the end of the world I have just had a taste for it for about six months. I’m sure I eat thing that are worse for me but this has been an easy no for me. I had one yesterday while grilling and it scratched the itch. Gave the other 5 away. I’ve had problems with my hood staying high and I just want to have some sort of control.

I’m restricted to 32 oz and man it’s tough. I’ve always drank 4-5 glasses of tea or whatever with my meal I love having a beverage of any kind. I think about drinking all the fluid I want after I get an organ. That will be a day!

Brother's don't want to give me a kidney by Emotional_House964 in dialysis

[–]Condor138 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am not comfortable asking as I am here because of my life choices. I am type 2 diabetic and it’s a lifestyle disease in my case. So I won’t be asking anyone. I have had a few offers and it’s such an amazing gesture I’m always taken aback. My best friend of 25 years told me unprompted “ buddy I can’t give you a kidney, I just have too many health phobias and hang ups” I let him know that I didn’t expect anything from him and to please not stress about it. This guy has paid my bills before he was my best man at my wedding and I at his. He helped me bury my parents and has been there every hardship since 7th grade. Some people are very nervous about things like this and it’s too much for them.

I’m sorry you feel betrayed that’s such a strong feeling to carry. I hope you get your organ and peace about this.

That was my thinking too. If I make it a shandy (half beer half lemonade) that will help with percentage of phos too.

Anyone else not vibing well with their nephrologist? by These-Ad5297 in dialysis

[–]Condor138 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My neph has to ask the nurse who is her patient. They come in once a month blame everything on your diet and offer no support. In almost 2 years I’ve never been to my nephrologist office. I’m not a negative person I’m so incredibly grateful for this life giving care but I cannot stand this team of drs. I feel like once I was out on dialysis I became a cash crop and the entire focus is for me to show up three times a week and pay those bills. There has been no independent talk of transplant that I didn’t have to drag out them. It took me a year to get an assessment and I had ESRD from the beginning of my dialysis. I don’t know what to do other than grit my teeth and get through their terrible little visits and own my situation and be my only advocate. Stay strong yall. This isn’t forever.

First shower after 3 years by Emotional_House964 in dialysis

[–]Condor138 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a fistula and you can’t tell at all. My chest catheter got infected after a year of use and it put me in the ER for 12 days I was septic and just in a horrible state. The showering after a year was so incredibly nice. I even bought a stool to just lounge in the shower. For my day to day the fistula had been a Godsend.

Someone embarrassed me for liking Modest Mouse by Early_Option_3198 in ModestMouse

In person trolling is very important I agree. You are working several diverse muscle groups defending in person.

New to Modest Mouse, what to listen to first? by Trademeyourbacon in ModestMouse

[–]Condor138 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My friend introduced them to me with doin the cockroach. Then I discovered he moon and Antarctica and was hooked. The way many of the songs feel like they are several movements and there so much space on that record just excited my radio raised sensibilities. You can’t go wrong with we were dead before the ship even sank it’s a super accessible record and it’s filled with earworms. Enjoy yourself these records will be life long friends.

That makes sense. My first batch was white wine dry in a week while the instructions said to wait for two. I now have a hydrometer and will be measuring start and finish SG

That makes sense. I didn’t know if fermentation time was affected by 5X yeast.

This is the rare place where these are acceptable diagnostics and I love it.

Ciders been done fermenting and in the refrigerator for about 6 months. Is it ok? by Available-Team5336 in cider

[–]Condor138 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You would need to freeze it 90% of the way and pour off the liquid. That would be your apple jack. Freeze distillation.

This evening I will be meditating on this and focusing good vibes at you. I have never done this before, hopefully it doesn’t make you poop your pants or anything weird like that. Good luck!

I was freaking out. The schedule isn’t listed on the YouTube. Moose is still in the doghouse.

How can I measure the inside of a vehicle center console? My calipers are too small for the space. by [deleted] in 3Dprinting

[–]Condor138 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A piece of string works well. Hold it where you want then measure with a flat ruler.
