Has anyone come up with a solution for not having to empty the urine too
often?  I use a 4000 CC bag, but if I go to bed around, let's say, 11 p.m.
and my caregiver doesn't come and until 11 a.m., there is a good chance it
might be completely full.  I seem to drain a lot while I am lying down.  My
doctor told me if I sleep at 30° this will help stop the problem, but I
haven't really seen a difference yet.

In case you're going to ask, I have been checked for diabetes and renal
problems, but everything comes back hunky-dory.  I occasionally stayed on
Sundays so I can give my primary caregivers the day off and on these days my
parents come in and during the year and around noon.  When my brother makes
around later in the evening, I have around 3000 cc in the bag even though I
have only taken in about 1000 cc.
