Male with neurogenic bladder: what are my options?

@2will2 I am 82 years old in August, but still quite active. I go to the gym, walk the dog, a couple miles every other day, travel. etc.
I have been using a valve for most of the last three years. I change the valve every month and have the catheter changed once every three months. No UTI so far. A nuisance. but a lot of people are a lot worse off.

I was 81 in January. My neurologist is going to be changing me to using the catheter valve. The next time I go to have the catheter changed. Your words are encouraging. As far as waiting with the valve how often do you do that do you wait to get a feeling or do you just do whatever so many hours? Do you have any hints or caution that I should be aware of? I had a spinal surgery which left me then with a neurogenic bladder. I’m still finding this all new and sometimes a little concerning on my part. To hear from a man like you has been doing this three years, puts me more at ease. Thank you for taking time to share with me. It makes me feel like I’m not all alone. Have a nice day.
