He also explained how a broken electricity transformer make his treatment nearly impossible.
No power, no relief
Managing kidney disease is hard enough on its own. Doing it in a shack with no electricity is something else entirely. Real Bulo Traders gets dialysis-related medication every month, and it has to be warmed up before use.
Without power, that becomes a daily mission. He described how the fluid feels like it comes straight out of a fridge when he puts it into his body. Winter makes everything worse, leaving him wanting to stay in bed all day.
