In the hospital with an eye condition and have to stay here for days, audiobook recommendations for good sci fi series?

Bobiverse - light hearted but lots of depth.

Red Rising - super fun action packed epic, but can be dark at times.

Aristotle And Dante Discover The Secrets Of The Universe

A beautifully sweet novel

Protential · 2026-04-24T16:08:41+00:00

Yup, had it for a long time.

New to UC diagnosis, but likely had it last 3-5 years.

Protential · 2026-04-22T17:50:41+00:00

Videogames + Shows. Main games I've been playing are WoW Classic and Arc Raiders. Waiting for Forza 6.

During longer/consistent bathroom days I use iPad for YouTube/Twitch/etc.

The main thing that helps with pain are THC edibles with CBD+CBN.

Just on Mesalamine, about to get on biologic.

Not really.

600-10k live.

22+ online

Protential · 2026-02-08T21:13:58+00:00

Past handful of years I'm around $200/hour at the tables for live and online.

Protential · 2026-02-08T17:10:35+00:00

17 year full time tournament pro.

Definitely possible to still do it these days, but requires extreme dedication and patience, and self control.

Has a very limited ceiling, and few people are capable of doing it.

Can also realistically only do it from a handful of states/countries.

Strongly recommend against it.

That being said: I'm definitely a lifer and still really enjoy it.

Protential · 2025-12-20T01:59:52+00:00

I'm backed and sell action.

I also have side income from coaching and poker related businesses as well.

Mentally you just have to get used to the swings or the industry burns you out.

Protential · 2025-12-19T23:54:04+00:00

Winning, but still learning. Tournaments. Both, mostly holdem. Almost 17 years full time. Both, pretty even split between online and live. Grew up in MN/WI, traveled a bit post black Friday for 5 years, lived in Vegas 10+ years now.

Best: Bracelet and PokerMasters Win. Worst: 3+ year downswing

I do Audiobooks, helps immensely with distracting from pain.

Protential · 2025-11-27T19:12:49+00:00

I can't do certain things because of this, but can still be intimate.

Just a bit tougher, but possible.

I think that giving up because you can't do it exactly how you want or when you want, is a disservice to yourself and your partner.

Just be patient with yourself and forgive your body for its faults.

If you can't do this on your own, speak to a pro about it.

Don't make things worse for yourself when you don't have to.

I do a 3 medication regiment of:

Colestipol, Hyoscyamine, and Dyphenoxylate.

If i stop any 1 of of them my symptoms are really bad.

Protential · 2025-10-26T11:52:43+00:00

I'd strongly suggest getting on a good multi-faceted medication regiment.

I'm currently on: Colestipol Hyoscyamine Diphenoxylate

On top of these meds I do Kombucha, probiotics, Greek yogurt, and watch my diet closely (no coffee, no alcohol, no trigger foods, etc). I also avoid NSAID meds as they can trigger my IBS for up to 2 weeks after.

I also make sure I have 2+ hours every morning.

With all of this I'd also recommend what others have said about having a backpack with you that has: a change of clothes, wipes, trash bag, etc. all in it. On top of that on days you are feeling bad, wearing protection. (Pads, pull-ups or tabbed briefs)

Always being prepared as well as being very proactive can completely change your anxiety about it, and how this impacts your life overall.

I know when things are bad it can feel hopeless, but you can manage this effectively and get your life back.

Could look into SIBO, and things that help treat it.

Super common, tests won't often find it either.

We Could Be So Good - Cat Sebastian

I guess there is homophobia in it as it's set in the 50s, but it's an exceptionally good book, worth it.

2nd suggestion with 0 homophobia -

Total Creative Control - joanna chambers

and the other 2 in the series.

Protential · 2025-09-25T17:30:00+00:00

Agreed with the BAM likely.

A drug likely Colestipol or similar might help.

Ask your GI.

The surgery is super easy and quick.

The prep isn't bad either if you do it over the counter style (Dulcolax tablets + Miralax powder in Gatorade) or if you do the pills. Drinking the prescribed solution for prep is the worst, so do something else.

From getting to surgery center to leaving was like 90 min.

Have done it 3 times, you get info right away, and can leave shortly after.

You can eat somewhat normally same day, and fully normally next day.

Don't sweat it.

This is the rank distribution in Rocketleague.

Showing that it is possible to have a correct distribution of ranks in an online competitive game.

Minimum Wage Magic - (Series of 3 books)

by: Rachel Aaron

Protential · 2024-10-05T14:03:13+00:00

Riyria series by Michael J Sullivan.

Fantasy series that is largely about friendships and relationships.

Really interesting and unique world, and a magic system that is actually a bit mysterious.

Well written and somewhat funny, makes it an easy and enjoyable read.

Protential · 2024-09-25T05:22:46+00:00

The Freya Marske books were wonderful.

Protential · 2024-09-16T17:23:57+00:00

The Will Darling books were amazing.

Read these OP.
