The solution I have found is to run my catheter up through the top of my pants and out to a bed bag which I have cut down so that it can hang on the side of my chair. Currently I am using a 4000 cc bag and I simply hang the hook on a small bungee cord which is attached to my chair. I don't remember whether I have a picture of my setup without the cover bag, but if you click on this link it should take you to a picture of what my system looks like with the cover on it. I am able to drink as much fluid as I would like, but I usually try to keep it down to less than 2 1/2 liters a day while I am up.
