My last shift was one of those. I didn't even get to pee.

Of course I didn't eat anything, and only drank about 120ml of water.

Maybe that's a new strategy. Think of how much more productive we'd be if we didn't have to mess with those pesky ole bodily functions.

I've often thought about how much easier it'd be if I popped a foley in and threw on a leg bag before my shifts.

Just for fun, one day I took a sanipan in the bathroom with me just to see how much pee I was holding after 12 hrs of not going. It was 1200cc!

I'm not judging, just saying you may want to re-evaluate your idea of fun. :)

I sometimes wonder how many mL's of pee my bladder is holding by the end of the night. Its a very long pee when I get home and pee-pee dance up the stairs and barely make it to the "terlit". I've timed it too. 45 seconds was the longest.
