If I were about to go through a hospital experience such as yours, I would right now be making myself some signs to hold up or point to that say "I HAVE TO PEE!" and "I CAN"T TALK!" with maybe a loud bicycle horn hung around my neck! It really helps to be prepared, and what you've done for others is just that! I certainly admire your husband, too - for what he did to help you.
Sarge - I just know that with that great girlfriend of yours, plus all the great posters on this forum, you will come through this just fine! Hang in there and let us know what happens.
