Title: Resources on the net I have found! Add to it!
Post by: kitkatz on July 18, 2006, 03:13:22 PM: Anyone been over to Tollidee.com a forum for kidney patients? I just found it today and thought I would pass the word along. I am just checking it out, so I do not have a recommendation one way or another. You can make up your own minds.

Taken off intro to the site:
Tollidee is a combination of two German words: toll, meaning "great"
and idee, meaning "idea".

The purpose of this site is to provide an online community to educate, and support kidney patients and their family members.

Inside you will find resources to help educate and support, my blog, and a budding online community of ESRD patients and family members supporting each other.

Post by: kitkatz on July 18, 2006, 11:37:34 PM: Add to it. The more resources we have the better. We really need to build a good database of resources to have available to new people and old people.

If you go to these sights, in your signature line put "ihatedialysis.com" You might as well promote our site while your are there.

Thanks!

I love the quote at this site:

"It's all about control. Take away a patient's sense of control over his life, and you have hurt him more than any injury or disease.
"Give him back that sense of control — and you have helped him more than any drug or therapy.
He can make miracles happen." —Gregory White Smith, Brain Cancer Survivor"
