Don't know Beans about Beans?? Learn here!

If you don't know beans about beans -- and by beans I mean KIDNEY BEANS you will find this site and absolute gem of a find. KidneySchool has small little 20 minute educational bits that help to inform you little by little expanding your knowledge of how the kidneys work, what is entailed in kidney failure and how to cope with kidney dialysis. Thanks to my friend Dori Schatell who co-wrote a book entitled "HELP I NEED DIALYSIS" and also involved in the making of LifeOptions as well Home Dialysis Central. Please consider all these sites and the book.

Home Hemodialysis

Here is an absolutely amazing site about Home Hemodialysis. I personally have been doing nocturnal/extended Home hemodialysis for nearly 11 years. I also did a short stint on Peritoneal Dialysis or PD.

If you do not know or understand these words, they are types or kidney replacement therapy and this site will surely help educate you on this.
