at peeing in a cup. Had to go to the doctor today and pee in a cup. Yea, I ended up peeing on my hand. I then had to shuffle to the sink to wash my hands before pulling up my pants. Thank goodness it was a single person bathroom. I was a pro at peeing in a cup by the end of each of my pregnancies. Guess it's not something that comes back to you like riding a bike.

There's a trick to doing that.

I always hate the cup thing. I feel so rude handing the container over to the nurse and if I have to walk back through a crowd of people with it, I wrap the cup in about 39 paper towels to hide it.

Was this for your sinus infection? I hope you're feeling a little better with that.

Sinuses turns out are just allergies, but do have a mean kidney and UTI infection.

I always wrap the cups in paper towels too.

Oh I know that one so well! And I just love the way you describe it, it's the height of undignified, isn't it, shuffling to the sink with a wet hand and knickers round the ankles :wah:

Ouch! I'm sorry you have that Sheryl! I know how awfully uncomfortable that is.

I am lucky we have a separate room where blood/urine tests are done.

No walking through other patients.I do wash the jar with soapy water though,before handing it over.

We have a separate room too. I have to wash my hands and the container, but then lift a sliding door to put it into and then close it. It's so much more less embarrassing than handing a cup to a nurse...especially if it's really full. :wah:

I'm diabetic and I'm supposed to do this disgusting urine test every year. They give us a pilon-orange plastic container that resembles a gasoline jerry can and it's got some terrible smelling solution in it. We're supposed to fill this obscene thing over a 24 or 48 hour period, can't remember which. Plus it has to stay on ice which is another problem so I have to buy a disposable styro ice chest for it as I'm sure not using my good one. Then you'll see all us diabetics hauling big orange containers into the testing lab.

Everyone knows what you did over the weekend. It's kind of embarrassing.

i've never been any good at it either, even at the end of my pregnancy i still wasn't any better!

but my doctor had the shelf in the wall where you put the cup when you're through, and close the little door and the nurse gets it from the othwer side! i was always glad of that!

I was prescribed 2 meds for the infection. One is an antibiotic and the other is a pill for pain, however it makes my urine blue. :-3

The first time I had to pee in a cup I was only about 12 and had been hit by a car. I remember somehow thinking that the nurse was going to come and collect it from the bowl until they knocked on the door and asked what was taking so long. Somehow I had missed the instruction on what the cup was for.

how far away were you holding the cup??

I'm a pro at it having been a truck driver. I'm used to handing over a sample to anyone, anywhere.

That reminds of a COPS show on tv. A trucker got ripped off by a drag queen hooker. The cops wanted the trucker to exit the vehicle to fill out the report. He was adamant about not doing so but eventually he was forced out.

Upon delivering himself to the ground we find out hes wearing lipstick, high heels and mesh nylons.

You truckers are a real hoot !
