Never, ever, stick your keys in live electrical outlets!

One, per person, per day:
NEVER take your lasix (or other diuretic "of choice") and then go someplace where you won't have access to a bathroom for a while....
NEVER EVER take your lasix and then go on a 2 (or more) hour car ride on a major highway or interstate where there will not be frequent (one every other mile?) rest stops.......

Evening Harpoon,
I have to say that I am in absolute agreement that one should never go too far from a bathroom while on Lasix.. I sometimes have to take two, and L@@k OUT! (So much for the golden rule of Lasix...LOL) Take Care, Harrybaby666

Most days I'm at 60 a dose, once in the morning and once at night, before meals.
If I feel the need for it (and yes, this does happen and I DO feel it) I can either take another 40 at mid-afternoon or later in the evening...
Usually, within about half an hour I'm making my rounds, maybe three times, maybe more.
I get worried if I haven't "felt the urge" when I should be feeling it.
If you're on lasix and you do a lot of running around for whatever reason, you know where to go for public restrooms (and where NOT to go.)
Eckerds Drugstore is my favorite place. They're really good to me at the pharmacy counter and they have a nice selection of goodies and beverages if I need it and their restrooms are spotless....
Oh, they do good work in their photo lab too. =)
Every once in a while though I've found myself having great debates inside my head over whether or not to ask my cardiologist for a signed note that gives me permission to piss on a tree once in a while.
I've ONLY had that kind of emergency come up twice while on diuretics. Once while on the way to a hockey game and once while on the way to Cleveland Clinic for the transplant evaluation stuff. It really couldn't be helped. it was either go on the side of the road or walk around in wet pants the rest of the day, there was no holding it back any longer.
Only folks on lasix will know of this kind of experience and we all hate it with a passion.

Oh ummm... That's 60 MILLIGRAMS not 60 pills by the way...
Whoops!!!!
60 pills (I have "forties" and "twenties") would probably make me shrivel up like a raisin!

When you are mixing up brownies with an electric mixer and the cord disconnects from the mixer and falls into the batter, remember to unplug the cord from the wall before licking off the batter.

Don't confuse the light switch with the garbage disposal switch when you have your hands down in the sink.
A Japanese foreign exchange student who lived with us, did that. I almost had a heart attack and she almost disposed of her fingers!

Hey Harpoon....
I take 40 in the morning and then another 40 at 6pm when I need it, but I still don't understand why it wouldn't kick in at times when you feel the need for it...I usually feel it as pressure around my heart and lungs...any Ideas? I would appreciate any imput that you might have..Thanks. Harrybaby666

I understand the Lasix deal completely. Last week, I had to stop pumping gas when my tank was only 1/2 full and RUN into the station and demand to use the restroom NOW
- Don't eat yellow snow
- Don't buy a soldering iron with a handle of the same shape and color as the hot part.
- Don't drop the soap

HAHAHA, I have this mental picture of all of us standing at gas station or restaurant jiggling nervously with our legs half crossed, doing the pee pee dance, waiting for the restroom to be free.
Last week, I was cleaning out basement and came across a box that Hubby had cleaned his Dad's Nursing Room..the day he passed. There was this men's thingy You know, the one that is shaped for men to wee-wee in bed. Why he brought it home, I'll never know..but will be handy the next time I have to take Kameron on a long car trip. We were forever pulling off the road for him to pee. Never did it on Interstate but off rural exit..Why don't you guys go out and buy yourselves one. We women HAVE to stop..that is if we can get Hubby's to do so. and what if we had hose on (Haven't worn a pair in years) Bonnie
