yes, two hours patiently waiting for that big hand and you were out because of that less than a minute piss. my advice, although crude is that u leave a bottle on the side to avoid these accidents, mainly in the final straights. ps: your family may think you have gone crazy.

True. I rarely leave the table, but when I do: I am not going to worry about the hand I might have gotten. Similarly, I know some people "sit out" for a hand or two after a bad beat. What you might lose by not playing a hand that might be Aces is countered by you not going on tilt or something.
If you need to use the bathroom then go and if you need a breather to calm down after a hand, then take it. Don't overthink things superstitiously here.

Mother Nature doesn't want to know about those 5 minutes. When she calls, just pick up, geriatric diapers are also a good option if you're ashamed of bottles. It is difficult to play the tournament after losing a pair of aces or kings in a giant pot. One day you will still prove me right.
You had no way of knowing what you'd be dealt while you were away from the table and it should not affect your play going forward. If it happens, it happens. There's nothing you can do. You always want to be as comfortable as possible while playing so that you can bring your "A" game and make the best decisions possible. If you're sitting there having to use the bathroom, you'll be uncomfortable. Take care of yourself 🙂
