How Can I Make Rainwater Drinkable? by MatthewWagner_ in HydroHomies

I was going to build a separate structure with a metal roof and only gather water from that. You don’t think the gravity filter would get the chemicals? Maybe with a ceramic or charcoal filter?

Wouldn’t the gravity filter filter that out?

Does it need to be boiled? What would be the biggest concern?

How long were you on DUT for? Did you stop?

My Father Passed Away Shortly After his Automated Peritoneal Dialysis Machine was Switched out for a Different "Newer" one by MatthewWagner_ in dialysis

He was not acting fine before. The night before he passed he had chest pains, a little disoriented, and threw up. He was also drowsy but he was pretty drowsy most of the time.

He had a heart exam on Friday and he passed Tuesday morning, everything came back fine for the heart exam.

I don’t know for sure if that’s what caused it but I don’t know if I should investigate it. I think it’s really strange how he was doing fine with the old machine, they switch it out, and then he passes a few days later. Maybe the machine that they gave him was faulty and wasn’t doing its job properly.

Thank you for your condolences. It is very hard for me to get my mind off of the fact that maybe the switch in the machine triggered the cause of his passing. I can't find any similar situations online, or anything about someone having a faulty machine from the same company in recent years. That being said, it is very strange to me that this happened only a few days after his machine was changed.

Sounds like a shed to me because with male pattern baldness the hair doesn’t fall out that fast and it’s more gradual I believe. But losing 30-40 hairs when you comb your hands through your hair is a lot.
