It's a piece of cake. They will give you a large container to take home and for 24 hours (they told me morning to morning), you put all of your urine in the container - catching it in a cup and then dumping it in. Then you'll bring the container back to them. They'll give you specific directions, but that's the gist of it. You just need one day, maybe a Sunday, where you don't stray too far from the container...
Good luck with your test and getting a good diagnosis.Emme
