Also, because I'm not good at all of self-inflicted ANY level of pain I don't support starting with the self-cath idea. Though it sounds good it's all in the execution.

And yet to many others self-catheterization is "no big deal". There seems to be a wide spectrum of pain possible. Until I experience catheterization, I am not going to know where I fall on the pain spectrum.
Thank God I have a sympathetic primary care provider who is willing to allow me to experience catheterization prior to needing it on an emergency basis.
