I hope the bump is gone for good. I've found that having someone with you who can act as your advocate works well. I will get right in someones face if I think it's needed when I'm with one of my children or my wife. On the other hand, when I'm by myself I tend to speak up less and take more horseshit from medical personnel. So my wife frequently acts as my advocate and I act as hers. She'll ask questions I won't think to ask, and I do the same for her.
