Connie Ziegler didn’t let sudden paralysis stop her active lifestyle, but the resilient Derry Township woman was almost derailed by something that many women suffer silently: Overactive bladder.

“I couldn’t tell when I had to go and I leaked because of bladder spasms. I don’t let anything stop me, but I would stay home because I was embarrassed and ashamed,” said Ziegler, 57, who five years ago developed transverse myeletis, a neurological disorder caused by inflammation of the spinal cord that can develop after a viral infection. It can have permanent effects such as paralysis and bowel

A BIG thank you…you injected Botox in my bladder about 3 months ago and I have had minimal bladder spasms (only very weak ones). My catheter is staying in and no more catheterizations 2-3 times weekly. See you again soon but wanted to thank you now since such a big difference and improvement for me. — KJ

It is difficult to put into works my sincere gratitude for all you did for me as I approach the one year anniversary of my re-implantation surgery. Since my return from the hospital without the catheter four days after the procedure I’ve lost no days due to the terrible pain. Thanks for taking me on as a patient when no other urologist near my home would, without a 3 month wait. Thanks for your patience, concern, humor and skill with the robot... I could not be more grateful. — LB

This letter should have been written years ago but is just as heartfelt today as when you first took me as a high risk prostate cancer patient. I thank you for being sincerely sympathetic to my condition and treating me in a very warm and humane manner. I appreciate, now and then, how you were very open, honest and thorough in your explanations of my condition, prognosis and possible side effects. I felt as if I could have been your only patient. I feel fortunate to have you as my urologist. My wife, and I truly appreciate the expert, capable, warm, and empathetic manner in which I was treated and our neighbor before me. Thank you very much! I will continue keeping my appointments with you and wish you the best. — BH

Thank you for taking wonderful care of me. The highlight of my hospital stay was when you would come to my door. You were so kind and caring and “forgiving” when I fought you. Every patient who has you for their doctor is blessed. Thank you for the huge difference you made in my life. — EK

I just wanted to thank you for all that you have done for me — from getting my surgery date moved up to taking the time to answer every question and concern that we had. The last two months have been a whirlwind, and I am thankful that you have been my doctor through the whole process!
