(thus saith the Urologist) So, let's just do one more test.
As he hands me a pretty orange jug and a slip of paper with "Instructions For Collecting 24 Hour Urine Samples".
What The?!?!
Don't even ask.
I'm not going to.
At least he's thorough!
I guess I'll be sticking close to home tomorrow, working out the mechanics of peeing into a big orange jug with a small opening...
*Note to family: DO NOT DRINK THE NEW JUICE IN THE FRIDGE.
Hey, I'm sure you could think of some really 'cool' tricks to play on your kids with that little ole' jug....like the one about the nurse asking this guy in hospital to pee into the jug and she would come back in a minute to retrieve it. The guy had some orange juice on the table next to his bed and poured it into the jug the nurse had given him. When she came back into the room he grabbed the jug and started drinking. She yells at him "what are you doing?!!!!" He said "Just thought I'd run it through once again."
ReplyDeleteBe creative!
Don't you just love 24 hour collections.
ReplyDeleteI think the 24 hour urine is to check for protein in the urine. It could be for something else too, but if I remember correctly that's what they were testing my mom for.
ReplyDeleteI remember when my mom had to do that...and keep in the fridge :P I think she peed into a bowl then poured it into the jug. Maybe that'd be easier??
