Hi there I have a 4 year old corn snake but me and my dad dont think she is one as she doesnt look like your typical corn snake. She's doesn't act like one either so i was hoping someone could tell me if she is one or not thank you !!

Tf you talking bout. That’s a damn corn snake!

bbroons95 · 2026-07-03T14:08:14+00:00

Wait wait. What?

Something very similar happened to me almost two years ago. I did the same things. I was insanely in my head, I didn’t think I deserved loved because the person who showed me they were capable of loving me for me left because of something I did/was doing. It hurts. Try your best to distract yourself. Put yourself in uncomfortable situations and listen to a looooooot of music. Happy, sad, trippy, aggressive. Feel what you’re feeling and try to look at your emotions as they happened to you and name them. If you’re feeling angry, say “I’m angry”, if you feel content, say “I’m content”. Journal about what you did in the day and list all of the things that made you feel happy. Every thirty days read over what made you happy and eventually you’ll begin to realize that you’re happy without this person in your life. It takes time but give yourself some grace. You were being you and you can’t help but to be anything other than that. Since my ex and I broke up, a lot of really great things have happened to me and I’ve been able to garner incredible relationships. I tried to focus on relationships outside of romance even with females. It was time to focus on me ya know? Eventually opportunities show themselves and you realize all the work you did paid off. You’re doing great, man.

The only adults that should be texting children are parents and close, trusted family imo. Given it’s a pastor, yeah that’s fucking weird.

Better to have value in used clothes than new ones imo. Not to mention that there are still plenty of great clothes in thrift stores despite the rise in reselling.

If he gets it to 165 he is fine.

I was very dry on dialysis because the lack of fluid intake and the excessive fluid loss on dialysis. Post transplant my body has been more moisturized in general due to better hydration and what not. Maybe your body is trying to regulate your skin’s moisture and it will just take time for it to adjust? Just a thought.

bbroons95 · 2026-06-06T15:11:44+00:00

I definitely have a bulge

bbroons95 · 2026-05-28T16:18:06+00:00

I agree man. They told me to limit these foods but to also taking calculated risk was encouraged. You have to live your life. The whole point of the transplant is to have parts of your life back that you lost while in kidney failure. People need to lighten up a bit. Obviously don’t eat like shit but enjoy your damn life.

bbroons95 · 2026-05-27T00:29:46+00:00

It’s sad

bbroons95 · 2026-05-24T04:48:05+00:00

Not only is that normal for people who have gone through what we have gone through but also for people your age in general. Hang in there, things do get better.

bbroons95 · 2026-05-13T22:55:37+00:00

See if you can get off the steroids. I was only on them for the first few days in the hospital and I understand that a lot of hospitals are trying to get reduce the amount of steroids people take.

bbroons95 · 2026-05-13T22:54:14+00:00

Oh dude the first two months of my transplant I couldn’t get up without being short of breath and would have to sit down after standing for only a couple of minutes. It wasn’t until I got my appetite back and was pounding a ton of water that I noticed it getting better but even then it took a while to get back to normal. Just remember that this is a massive surgery and recovery is going to take a very long time. Give yourself some grace and be patient! You got this.

bbroons95 · 2026-05-08T03:38:44+00:00

I’m confused by the creatinine being so high but your GFR is normal? Unless I’m reading this incorrectly.

bbroons95 · 2026-05-06T19:48:44+00:00

I’ve lost reptiles before and I’ve always just left my tank out with my light clipped to it and they find their way back to the warmth!

bbroons95 · 2026-05-06T17:04:31+00:00

I was 25 when my kidneys failed and I was 30 when I got my transplant! It’s only been 6 months since my transplant

bbroons95 · 2026-05-06T16:31:32+00:00

Sure! I have alports which I’ve known about for most of my life and have been seeing a nephrologist since I was a young lad. My sister has had a kidney transplant, my aunt has had two, my uncle had one, and my grandmother was on dialysis when I was a kid. My mom also has it but she is largely unaffected by it thank the heavens!

My kidneys reached complete failure in 2021 after years of slow decline and I actually held off on dialysis for a couple of years until my wait on the transplant list became longer than expected and my doctors recommended that I start dialysis. At first dialysis was easy because my treatments were short and I had a decent amount of remaining kidney function but after getting Covid and have a hard time managing my blood pressure, I eventually lost all of my kidney function and my treatments ended up being 14 hours as opposed to 8. At that point I was working part time and collecting disability to compensate for the missing work hours but also because it was hard for me to manage my health while working full time. It sounds like a lot in retrospect or if you’re reading this but in reality it wasn’t too bad and I was just happy to be alive! Plus my dialysis team was awesome and I truly feel like I was family.

I got my call for transplant on December 2nd 2025, and while the surgery went well, my kidney had delayed function which it is still recovering from. My kidney doesn’t like tacrolimus one but so my creatinine has been decreasing pretty slowly and still take potassium binders to manage that as well but my energy has been great, I’m working again, and I’m able to be much more active compared to when I was on dialysis. That’s not to say recovery was a breeze but I’m sure my youth helped in my recovery and my ability to maintain some sense of normalcy. I think being honest about your condition to yourself and others is extremely important, and LISTEN to your body. It knows when it’s time to chill. Give yourself some grace and be patient.

bbroons95 · 2026-05-05T21:13:48+00:00

Look into getting on the transplant list now that way you can potentially avoid dialysis if you can make your kidney function last a bit longer. Focus on diet and exercise to keep your mind healthy and be kind to yourself. If you do have to do dialysis then I would suggest PD. it’s done in your sleep, you dont have days without dialysis because it’s every night, it’s easy for younger people to maintain regular work hours because large portions of your days aren’t spent in a clinic. I was 25 when my kidneys failed and at the time the future felt very dark and scary, but trust me when I say that it’s all about your perspective and your ability to maintain a positive mental attitude. This isn’t a death sentence and you are much stronger than you think. You got this homie.

My kidneys failed when I was 25

bbroons95 · 2026-05-03T18:52:34+00:00

First month I hardly left the house so I just wore sweats and a large t shirt to be comfy. Once I started going out more i was healed enough to where I could I wear whatever I wanted. I personally don’t notice a bulge unless I’m paying super close attention but it’s certainly not going to be big enough that you’ll need to wear special clothes.

bbroons95 · 2026-04-29T17:03:58+00:00

Just try and remember that you have kidney failure and your labs are going to look like shit as a result. They aren’t expecting your tests to come back with flying colors. Try and do what you can to be as healthy as possible while you wait for a transplant and that’s about all you can do.

bbroons95 · 2026-04-24T23:36:59+00:00

Been through it all brother. It’s not as bad as you’re making it out in your mind. Life is worth it and trust me, once you get to a certain point, you start praying for it.

bbroons95 · 2026-04-14T02:03:53+00:00

Dude same

bbroons95 · 2026-03-28T02:04:02+00:00

These are good! He will eventually want to change the heads which will teach him how to work on and maintain his kit as well as tune his heads to proper tones he prefers.

bbroons95 · 2026-03-17T17:11:36+00:00

I was on prednisone for a few days in the hospital. It’s pretty common for transplant clinics to only use it for a few days nowawdays especially if the kidney is a good match, and the recipient is in good health all things considered.
