Post-Modern Drunk: 24 Hour Party Peeing
One of the drugs I'm taking to treat the Lup is Prednisone, which, according to the U.S. National Library of Medicine Website MedlinePlus, has the standard potential side-effects of vomiting and heartburn and headache, but it also has this rather inexplicable one:
"Loss of contact with reality"
Okay then. That is under the "serious side effects" category, at least. Though maybe it means I should take steroids recreationally.

Also, unrelated to that, my doctor ordered additional tests after my appointment the other day. I had more blood taken out than ever before, and a urine test, of course, but I was also given orders to do a "24 hur urine test."

I was given a jug, and the orders that on some day when I have the opportunity, I should put all my pee into it for 24 hours. They recommend doing it on a day when you're at home from work, because, after all, you probably don't want to take it to work. "Don't mind me. I'm just taking my urine jug to the restroom. Doctor's orders!" And keep it refrigerated.

Yes, I'm supposed to keep pee in my fridge. Don't worry. I'm going to get a disposable cooler for this process. This will be a pee free fridge for as long as I have my druthers.

And then, bring it in to the hospital. Which is an hour away by two subways.

Here's what it looks like, with a bottle of wine for a size comparison. That's a big jar for pee.

Chateua Lauretan, Bordeaux Superieur 1981, if you were curious.
