I have to take 60meq a day in order to keep mine in the normal range. None of my doctors seem to know why?!? Do you guys have any ideas? On another note, at night, where and how do you hang your drainage bag? I've been laying mine on the bed by my feet but it doesn't drain very well that way especially when I raise the foot of the bed up. I've thought of hanging it on the side of the bed frame but it pulls quite a bit that way - I have a supra pubic. If I do hang it on the bed frame, should I put a loop in the tube? A CNA once told me that this helps the drainage?!?. And lastly, should I tie the tube to my thigh? I have this fear of the bag falling and pulling the cath out! TIA.
