I was in ICU for 2 days after my surgery. ICU was kinda nice. Nice in the way that you got nice caring people washing your ass. There's no privacy at all in ICU. You're sharing a room with a dozen other people. You're always only only a few feet from a nurse at all times. There are no bathrooms in ICU. You're supposed to pee into this 'urinal' that you keep by your bedside. You buzz the nurse and the nurse comes and takes it away and logs how much you made. They log everything you intake and output. I wasn't able to poo during the entire time I was in the hospital.
