Part Nineteen: No Pee For You!

WARNING: POTENTIALLY GROSS POST

I am off work today and I'd originally planned on completing my second 24-Hour urine collection while I was lazing about the house. These plans were derailed earlier in the week by a visit from Aunt Flo.

As if collecting your urine wasn't gross enough... just imagine trying to do it while menstruating! Blech!

While the doctors had never warned against it, I just kind of assumed that this wouldn't really be the best urine sample to turn in. A quick internet search of guidelines for timed urine collections revealed that you should Avoid getting toilet paper, pubic hair, stool (feces), menstrual blood, or other foreign matter in the urine sample.

Okay... so that's that. Maybe later.

P.S. See! Aren't we all glad that I fished that cat hair out of the previous sample? I knew they wouldn't like that. *grin*
