Hi Carla,
Thanks for your response. Much appreciated. Not that catheterization is any fun but it seems to be doing the job for your husband. I have a post surgical meeting with my Mayo Doctor coming up and I believe there may be one other procedure other than supra-pubic I need to learn about called urinary diversion. I have been catheterizing every other day to keep things open but I still develop these strictures. I have had 3 surgeries in the last year and my body is starting to have difficulty recovering from anesthesia. Like your husband I really want to avoid the supra-pubic process as it would likely permanently end my ability to urinate naturally if left in for an extended period of time.
