i was told by a nurse at my kidney doc's office that
there were collectors that made it easier for people
who have problems with cups etc, but that most docs
did not keep them. she said she did not know why they
did not keep at least a couple around for special
needs.
i know why, cups are cheap and they do not care enough
to have the special collectors.
