I was looking up one of my meds (Demadex aka Torsemide) in one of the big popular online databases. This is a diuretic, and it lists one of the side effects as "frequent urination."

Hi Johnny,
Reminds me of Boston for some reason. I wonder if that is the original origin of the phrase " Wicked Pissa" ?
Now, if you haven't lived around Boston, your probably shaking your head.. no pun intended.. and wondering about what I just said.

And just wait a few years. . .

Johnny - What happens when you get past "that age" when men suffer frequent urination for other physical reasons? Ugh -- one added to the other means you would spend a big part of your day indisposed!

Ha Ha, I was on furosemide when I was 23, and I had to go every 15 minutes. No long road trips for me! I'm off it now(thank goodness) but my husband always laughed when I would jump out of bed and go racing for the bathroom!

Yup, that's what diuretics are supposed to do...get the excess fluid out of you. I was on a powerful diuretic right after surgery, and could have used a direct pipe to the bathroom!

Are you picking on my accent? LOL All R's are silent-aren't they? Actually, for the longest time I didn't know how people could tell I was from the Boston area (when I vacationed) until someone mentioned that we don't pronounce our "r's". I have been making an attempt to use them, but boy, it sounds soooo fake! People have told me that my accent is a bit thick, but I guess that is what happens when you grow up in a house that only speaks French, and then you have french nuns teaching you (yes, some classes were in French).
Signed, Gisele going to pa(r)k the ca(r) in Ha(r)va(r)d ya(r)d.*
*(r) denotes silent r--------------LOL
PS Johnny, I am on diazide (also diuretic), and yes frequent urination is what you have to endure. Never go anywhere without scouting out where the closest restroom is located. Good luck!

I could post a solution for this ongoing bathroom problem, but I don't feel it's appropriate for the forums. Hint:They are used in private aviation! No telling now, JC!

Johnny,
I noticed under your picture that you are once again "lovely and talented"! Glad to see those attributes have returned
Now why couldn't somebody simply invent an office chair with a flip-up seat and appropriate plumbing? Just think how this would boost your productivity at work, Johnny! As an added side benefit, people would soon learn not to pop in to your office unexpectedly!
My, I am certainly being helpful today.

Ross, I believe you are referring to a "relief tube?" I've read stories about them freezing up in the long-range bombers in WWII. That would be a bad day on a diuretic...
I also seem to recall reading in Flying Magazine many years back about the "venturi effect" that occurs when the door of a 172 is opened *just right* whilst airborne. Use your imagination...
