flush kidneys, prevent kidney stones. each piss is less pain.

Only a fellow hydrohomie has knowledge of the words inside the ancient sacred water scroll of wisdom.

And filter your water.
And your dog's water.
And your Car's water.
And give your cat a big ass water dish. (cats can get kidney issues because they stop drinking due to whisker damage from small bowl rims)

You're absolutely right! You don't want to fuck around with your kidneys! I'm not going to post the details here, but you should request an AMA from someone who works in Dialysis if you enjoy NSFL content.

I just thought about this meme 20 minutes ago randomly and now I see it everywhere wtf πŸ’€πŸ’€πŸ’€ did the universe just conjure up this frigging thing out of my psyche?? am I going insane?! πŸš¬πŸ’€

I drink a lot of water

I piss a lot of pee

cries in Spironolactone

Got here before me lol. Seriously though it's ridiculous. I basically feel like I have to pee 100% of the time and I'm just guessing if I actually have to go or not. Can't wait for surgery and not having to be on spiro anymore

Yeah, that sounds about right. Lol.

And if you can get surgery, I'm really happy for you! I don't think I'll ever be able to get it. It's just too expensive... :'(

Assuming my life doesn't collapse again like it did last year, I have surgery in June. I'm lucky to have the job and the insurance that I do. Even with really good insurance I'm dropping thousands of dollars regularly and I haven't even gotten to the surgery part it's madness x.x

Yikes! 😬 That's a LOT of money!

So because insurance and hospitals are a mess I have to be in a self pay agreement. The theory goes I cough up about $45k, do surgery, they bill insurance, insurance refunds the hospital, then the hospital refunds me. What might happen is insurance gives the hospital the middle finger and I'm out a down payment on a house worth of money then I get to sue everybody and see what happens. In hindsight I probably should have just done medical tourism but I didn't have the capacity to figure that out at the time and now it's a risk to my life if I go much longer without surgery

The other costs are flying out of state for large volume hair removal because I can locally only get like 1-2 hours a month since everyone is booked out. Also needing constant therapy because everyone needs increasingly specific therapists letters for me to get anywhere. Finally because I'm getting surgery out of state I need housing for a month so that'll be like $2-5k depending where I can find

It's all madness

Yeah, trans rights in the US are an absolute joke.

Still, I'm happy that you even have $45k in the first place. That's one of the reasons why I hate reimbursements. Sure, the net cost might be zero, but you still gotta have the money in the first place.

You could probably expedite the process by drinking pee and pissing water. That's how it works, right?

Shouldn't this be in the piss posting community 🧐

It's like a pomodoro timer at work, only without the cute pomodoro.
