If we look at it from another point of view... I think that chronic diseases can be something very difficult at an early age or when you are young... but they affect all ages... I have been married for a long time and before I met my couple was completely ignorant of what dialysis was... it is when through a small surgery if that is what it can be called... they connect a fistula in your arm... some people have them in the neck... They are veins with a kind of union with some extremely large needles!! Specifically, her aunt had had a kidney removed and the one that remained worked at 25%... and 3 times a week she had to be connected to a machine for 4 hours and that way the blood was cleaned by the machine and returned to your body... that's without commenting on the different side effects that this procedure leaves, such as headaches... dizziness... hypertension... blindness... and so on, many more... and what seemed most cruel to me about that condition was that she literally could not drink water... since she did not have kidneys and if she did she ran a great risk of filling her body with liquid and dying of asphyxiation... she could only chew or swallow ice cubes to quench her thirst... something not easy at all, it lasted 13 years doing that same procedure until it started... since then I take great care of my diet and above all I avoid soda...
