DEAR ABBY: My husband needs to be on oxygen all the time. He has a portable tank for when we go out, but it's too cumbersome for him to manage by himself.
When we are in a restaurant and he needs to use the restroom, what should I do? Should I take him to the ladies' room with me? Should I go to the men's room with him? Should I ask the waiter or some other male service person to accompany him?
What is the polite or socially acceptable course of action? Please don't use my name. -- FLORIDA WIFE
DEAR WIFE: Have your husband ask a male employee if there is some man who could help him to the bathroom and assist him to return.
