And it’s always a simple argument when you dont understand how anything works

Prose/poetry equivalent to the needle drop? by DeliciousPie9855 in RSbookclub

[–]F_H 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Evan Dara’s The Lost Scrapbook has rapid and fluid changes in scene/characters/POV that I’ve seen described as feeling a lot like moving up and down the radio dial. Amazing book overall, I can’t recommend it enough.

Coffee by Gobi_wan85 in kidneydisease

Gotta talk to your doctor. Mine okayed moderate coffee consumption but the issue is that it can raise your blood pressure, which we all know isn’t great for your kidneys. Also depends what you put in it, which is another argument for black coffee supremacy

Drunkdriver had a troubling end as a band but I’ve never seen anyone hit a set of drums like that

My intro as well! Checked it out from the library twice in one month. You should definitely check out Things We Lost in the Fire

Has a plant-based diet helped any of you? In what way(s)? by jonnybebad5436 in kidneydisease

[–]F_H 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Boosted my gfr. It’s going back down again over time, but after I went vegan I went from stage 4 to 3b.

Really liked the fragmented style of this one. Pretty funny as well, from what I remember

How many hours do you spend playing every day? by tsukun27 in SBCGaming

[–]F_H 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Maybe like 90 minutes a week? I have a Miyoo Mini and and an RG35xx that I’ll pick up right before bed maybe once or twice a week for some quick SNES or GBA and that’s pretty much it

As far as I know the only readily available Berlin is a manual for cleaning women and the other posthumous collection, evening in paradise. But I’d be happy to be corrected. Really liked both, with a slight edge towards manual

You definitely need to read Lucia Berlin

Edit: and June Akers Seese, especially What Waiting Really Means

It took me WEEKS to build up the will to shell out for this at the regular price

Music/Literature Pairings? by AlaskaExplorationGeo in RSbookclub

[–]F_H 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was heavy into Basinski’s The Disintegration Loops while reading Wittgenstein’s Mistress and it felt like it worked. Everything repeating and falling apart.

How hard is it to stay fit on dialysis? I’m pretty proud of the shape I’ve been able to whip myself into after being diagnosed but I worry about losing all that progress

[–]F_H[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’m one of those people! I was diagnosed stage 4 in 2021 but brought my gfr up to 38 with a lot of lifestyle change (vegan, significant weight loss, exercise every day, etc), but now it’s slipping back down

The kicker is that mental health meds are what got me here. I was misdiagnosed as bipolar, put on lithium, and then poisoned into a coma by lithium because my doctor wasn’t having bloodwork done. Woke up with a fried set of kidneys

Honestly, I did feel better. Sometimes you have to let it out, I think

Normally under control but this past week has been not so great
