Thanks for the suggestions everyone. I don't know if the two bag solution would work for me since I put my bag in a dishpan at the foot of my bed. For some reason when the bag hangs from the bed, it causes dysreflexia. My bladder is gotten to the point where it needs absolute positive down flow in order to drain properly. I'll give it some further thought. The 5 gallon jug might be an option. Guess I'll just start experimenting. Thanks again. Quadius On 6/16/07, [EMAIL PROTECTED] <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:

Don't forget to open the clip so the urine can go into bag #2. As the bag fills it drains into bag #2. john -----Original Message----- From: Quadius To: [email protected] Sent: Fri, 15 Jun 2007 9:58 pm Subject: Re: FW: FW: FW: [QUAD-L] How One Can live Alone 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.
