Pee pee jug on ice
Came back today from high risk OB visit with a brown jug in my hand for a 24 hour urine collection. I dipped protein on the urinalysis the last visit and this one. Super fun. yay. My blood pressures have been fine and I don't have any swelling anywhere (except my belly) so they are not too worried. So I am keeping my jug on ice in a trash can in my bathroom so I don't contaminate my refrigerator (actually non infected urine is actually sterile, but I can't deal with food and waste products in the same place). So various members of my household (my parents are visiting) have been asking me why I am carrying bowls of ice into my room. I tell them they don't really want to know but I tell them why. Everyone then goes, ewww...oh. Fun times, fun times.

I actually bought a styrofoam cooler to keep my jug. I did collections every week starting at 24 weeks. The worst was bringing it in - toward the end I had no shame and would just lug it in transparent plastic bags. Handling and storing urine IS such a yucky endeavor though.
I hope you're feeling better. I keep checking in here wondering WHEN it's going to happen!!
Heh. It's just pee. But, then again, my job description is chalk full of dealing with bodily fluids. ;-)
Hope you're feeling better. Keep up posted!
