Hi Guys,
I have read with some interest the discussions on holding onto a
frequency
during potty breaks. Several years ago, I solved that problem in this
shack. My
shack is located in a seperate room at the of a detached garage. Here was my
solution.
I installed a "contest urinal" under my op table. So the
procedure is simply
to "unzip, hang it, and relax." My xyl brings my meals and coffee (lots
of coffee)
to me on a serving tray at regular intervals. Thus no problem holding a
frequency
for a potty break. This system was a problem during one contest when I
overflowed
the uninal. Thus design change No.1 (larger capacity)
Another problem with old age is siatic pain down the left leg after
sitting for
a long time in the op chair. I have a big comfy leather chair and I
place a pillow
in it to sit on for added comfort. This seems to help lessen the pain in
the leg.
However, one cannot sit forever, so I operate intermittently "standing up"
which helps
releives the pain. Sometimes marching in place in front of the op table
will get
the blood flowing again. Geeze...aren't we glad contests don't go longer
than 48 hours?
