tantee-hope they get your cough sorted soon, obviously they would have tested you for whooping cough? As for the bladder, I have a terrible bladder so didn't really drink much at all, just what they recommended, other people were in agony in the waiting room- not me lol!! When I got in the nurse said it was fine and that you don't really need that much anyway, so I'm surprised they made you have more- the last thing you want to do after a transfer is go to the toilet straight away! Good luck hope your bladder holds out.
