Caltrops - Tansin A. Darcos's Alter Ego





	[quote name="Tansin A. Darcos (TDARCOS)"]Because of my disability, going to the toilet to take a leak is usually out of the question. It's got to be a really serious event to make me want to endure the horrid pain of a wheelchair to toilet transfer, or the extraordinary effort necessary to make the transfer painless. In short, if I had to take the time to transfer to sit on a toilet just to take a leak, I'd have peed in my pants before I'd finished. So I do what people subject to drug testing do. I pee in a cup. Well, not just any cup, but the full-size plastic ones you get from most fast food places, including McD's and Popeyes'. I also use similar cups which I keep in the cabinet or a drawer for having soda or drinking water. So, the question becomes, how do I differentiate between the two? I mean, maybe it doesn't bother you, but I'm kind of squicked about drinking out of the same item that I had peed into. Even if it was washed and sterilized - which I lack the capacity to do, I don't have a dishwasher - there's still the "psychic stink" of using the same cup for both purposes and I won't do it. Now, as the title of this post indicates, one of the things you should never do if you're having sex with a woman is switch from anal intercourse to vaginal intercourse unless you were using a condom with one of them and remove it, or you thoroughly wash your penis. It is perfectly okay to have sex with a woman vaginally, then switch to anal intercourse either bare in both cases or using the same condom. But you must never, ever, go from anus to vagina (ass to pussy) without either having used a condom in the ass and changing or removing it) or putting on a condom before going in the vagina. There are a number of really nasty organisms in the rectum that are perfectly fine to stay there because it "knows" how to deal with them. But expose some of them to the unprotected vaginal surface and it can lead to all sorts of problems. It is no where that serious to drink out of a cup that someone had pissed in if it was washed out. But I find the idea distasteful - no pun intended - and I'm not going to do it. I mean, I know I could do better in some of my hygiene factors, but I have a standard rule that I always wash my hands after I go to the bathroom. Shit is not a plaything, and while sometimes it's the consistency of clay, it's not clay and it's not something I want to play with. I have to handle it the way I sometimes handle other filth, but I wash my hands after I do so. So the cups I use for peeing in have two qualifications: (1) I segregate them from everything else and they stay in certain specific locations, either on the floor in the bathroom or in a kids sand bucket in my bedroom; and (2) a cup can be used to drink out of, or a cup can be used to pee in, and a drinking cup that gets too stained for my "taste" (even though the stains are just typical rust or scale that come from public water and are harmless) can be switched to use for urinary evacuation, but once a cup is ever used to pee in it can never go back to being used for drinking. Now, if it did happen, say, on a rinsed out cup, it wouldn't really be that bad. Fresh urine is sterile, and in fact, back around the 1st Century, people used to brush their teeth with their own urine because your body manufactures ammonia which it disposes into the urine, and ammonia is a good cleaning agent. (One of the reasons you should never pour bleach into anything with urine or ammonia in it is because they react and create deadly chlorine gas; clean areas that have urine in them with ammonia, it's like-for-like and not a problem.) But I still will not intermix the two. One time I forgot - the cups are basically identical, they both started as soft drink cups from Popeye's Chicken - and I used the cup I keep on the bathroom sink exclusively to drink water, to pee into. Well, that was it. I threw away the grungiest of the two pee cups I was using and replaced it with the new one. I then got a fresh cup out of the kitchen to replace the drinking water cup. So anyway, I pee in a cup. In the bathroom, I just pour it into the toilet. Then I drop it and leave it on the floor. If there was an issue of other people being around I'd put soap and water in it via the shower, rinsing it out before returning it to the floor so as not to leave a smell. But it's not important with nobody around so I don't, and the amount of smell from a single use isn't critical. However, when I'm sleeping at night, and wake up at 2 or 3 or 4 in the morning and have to take a leak, it's the same thing as before, I don't particularly want to have to get out of bed, slide onto the wheelchair, lock the seat belt, go into the bathroom, grab a cup, pee in it, pour it in the toilet, come back to bed, unlock the seat belt, get out of the wheelchair and go back to sleep. Presuming I can sleep after that. Realize that your bladder is just a big sponge or small storage tank, normally you can hold maybe 20-30 ounces, at agony capacity. Most of the time if I have to pee it's about enough to about 1/2 fill a cup. But if I have two or three sessions between 10 at night and whenever I get up in the morning, one cup is not going to hold what I have to do all night and if I left it on the floor I might forget it's there, get up and knock it over. This actually happened once when I was visiting my sister's place. She had provided me a cup to pee in during the night - fortunately, it was like a 64-ounce Big Gulp cup - and nothing else to store the results, so I put the cup slightly over to the side of the couch, so that my sister's thundering horde of dogs wouldn't run in that area and maybe knock it over My sister comes in, I warn her about it - her place isn't even accessible, I can't even get into her bathroom so I'd have had to pee in something anyway until someone could dispose of it - and what happens, she forgets and walks right in the area, knocking the cup over and spilling pee all over the floor. Fortunately it's a wood floor so it doesn't soak in, but it's still a mess. That's when she got the idea to leave me a mop bucket to dump my cup in; it also has the advantage it's big enough not to miss and the dogs won't knock it over. So I do the same thing at my place. Next to my bed is a standard bucket, like a mop bucket. So if I have to pee, I get up, lean over the side of the bed, pee into the cup, then pour the pee into the bucket and go back to sleep. There's often not a lot of room on the side of my bed with my wheelchair there, and the bucket might be heavy, otherwise, sometimes I've just picket up the bucket, put it under my balls so I can't miss and pee on the floor, and pissed into the bucket. In the morning, I empty the bucket into the toilet and flush, I take it over to the shower, rinse it out and dump it in the toilet again, then put the now clean bucket back in my room. I started this practice after I got rid of the previous piss bucket, which I never rinsed out. Use a bucket to pee in every day and by the time you've had it six months or so it starts to accumulate the results. Like the metals, toxins and other items your body disposes of. The bottom of the bucket basically had a small amount of yellowish grainy "sand" at the bottom. These are dissolved salts, minerals, metals and other things your body disposes of on a daily basis in the urinary tract. But since I switched to rinsing out my bucket each day when I flush it, it looks as clean as when I bought it, and you couldn't distinguish it from a mop bucket you use to clean floors. In fact, I have two buckets. One I use exclusively to wash with, and the bucket I keep in my room to pee in. Rinsed out, it's also suitable to pour detergent and fill with water when I need to mop a floor. Hey, the floor ain't gonna care, and even if there was any residual remainder we're talking trace amounts of urine if any. Yeah, the same thing could probably be said if I had a cup I pissed in and rinsed it out with hot water and soap. But I have plenty of cups so I don't need to do that. And I won't.[/quote]
