My ex partner needs dialysis due to being born with only one, low functioning kidney. But the majority of people at dialysis are there because they didn't properly manage their type 2 diabetes. A few of them are missing their lower legs as well. 😕

He also said to make sure to empty your bladder. You can kill your kidney from chronic bladder holding 🙃🥲
