Christopher - There have been numerous messages on borads like this one from people like yourself, who are facing a trip to the hospital and are worried about bedwetting or incontinence. You have probably already been to doctors about your incontinence so discussing it with another doctor or nurse shouldn't be a big deal. The hospital staff will probably contact you to give you information about when and where to report, what you need to bring with you or do beforehand, and to get information about insurance, other medical problems, etc. You need to let them know about your incontinence and they will simply make arrangements for you to have the supplies and the care you need while you are there. I have been there myself and I know that hospitals will not do anything to embarrass a patient with a medical problem.
