Ultimately you of course have to find what works best for you. Order samples and try them all. With Medicare funding I use a Bard Magic3. Folds up pretty good. I prefer a SpeediCath Compact but insurance won’t cover the cost. Docs have tried to get me to do the nerve stimulator but my research shows only 30-40% success rates. For me that is not acceptable. So do your research before blindly agreeing to do whatever procedure they want to do. I’m complacent I guess with where I am and make it work. You will too. It’s better than some other issues I could have I figure. Best to you. You will handle this speed bump in life. Those around you will support you and understand the more you decide to include them.

Thank you again waddling for taking time for me. A good idea of ordering samples and see what works best for me. Both my spinal surgeon and urologist weren’t in favor of the stimulus because of its track record of not being reliable. If I could ask what kind of instruction did you get before your first time self catering? As an ex-educator I was hoping that I might be able to take a class/get instruction from a man who himself self catherrizes because he’d know what really happens.
Have a nice evening,
