Broken Hipster #2

Broken Hipster #2

by Emiko Badillo

A heart wrenching & intense update on Emiko's battle with kidney disease & dialysis. Sickness, confusion, & not eating or sleeping turns into a nicely illustrated tale of her problems & ways of dealing with it. Her brother is a perfect match and gives Emiko one of his kidneys. This issue is about her recovery, therapy, and shares a story from when she was 18, taking drugs and heisting cigarettes, a story of being 20 and having a younger boyfriend who lied about his age, moving to Poland for a year and traveling around Europe, finding her animal companion, and naming her new kidney. A crucial kind of story sharing for us to understand our bodies, health problems, and community support.
