good start to the day, lost my reply to you. Oh well, that's the way the cookie crumbles. Thanks for your prompt reply to my question. I'm also on the slightly older side at age 79. Have had bladder problems since 1959 and can probably say I've had most meds, pills, patches and latest being botox. Neuro now talking about sacro neuromodulation but I think I'll give that a miss as just don't feel strong enough. Fractured coccyx In November, went on a cruise last month and came home with pneumonia Not had a pain free day since before my new hip operation last year but I really do look at the positives in life. I have 4 wonderful grandchildren and 5 beautiful great grand children whom I love dearly. Indwelling cath seems to be the way to go for me.

I am a 75 year old male and have had MS for 45 years. In 1999 I was told that I have a Neurogenic bladder (in layman's terms that is a bladder that no longer works). I did self catheterization, 6 times each day, for the next 13+ years. At that time the result of prostate problems I had a supra public tube implanted. Considering both events, for me, it has been very OK and actually beats the alternative.
