This year I have had a few health problems and been admitted to hospital a few times and have had to have 2 general aneasthetics / operations for gynea issues.
The night after both aneasthetics I have woken up in the middle of having a bed wetting accident.
The first time, due to the chance of me bleeding heavily after the procedure I had a huge pad on, which absorbed it all, so I didn't tell the nurses and sorted myself out in the toilet, and luckily didnt get the sheets wet.
The second time I was still only wearing my surgical gown so properly wet my bed and had to tell the nurse, who said not to worry and just changed my sheets. I dont think it was a problem but I was mortified.
I need to be admitted to hospital again and have another (unrelated) operation with a general aneasthetic. (not gynea). I'm getting worried about what if I have another accident.😳
Should I ask them to put a pad on me before I wake up (would they even do that?) just in case, (I'd find having that conversation VERY embarrassing) or do I just hope it doesnt happen again (maybe less likely as not gynea?) and if it does apologise to the nurse again. (I've had a couple of GA's many years ago and it didn't happen then)
Both times I have come round, eaten and drunk, been really thirsty having been nil by mouth for ages etc, gone into a deep sleep at night time and its happened a couple of hours after falling asleep in hospital.
Its not something that happens at home, and hasnt happened since i was a young child.
