I have such a hard time on the weekends with fluid pooling in my face.  I may only have 2 liters on but it is in my face.  I am fine Saturday night before bed but in the morning I look like the Fat Pumpkin.  So, I bought a movable base bed. 
It takes some getting use to trying to sleep elevated but it sure helped this weekend.  My dog Tia hates it.  Scares her to death.  I like it so far.  So the fluid was not in my face Sunday morning, but in my right arm.  I'll have to figure out how to get it to my butt.

You want it in your butt? I think I'd try to aim a bit higher - maybe a C-cup would be nice.
