OK, so we haven’t posted here since Dec. 28 of last year, but that doesn’t mean we haven’t been writing essays about our lives and moving forward with MS. We’ve had opportunities to share our stories on some incredible MS-related blogs these past few weeks, and we’re excited to share them with you here. We…… Continue Reading
Catch the Digmanns in the news
Jim Harbaugh and my MS
All this hype surrounding the University of Michigan potentially naming Jim Harbaugh as its new football coach got me thinking about my Multiple Sclerosis. No really, it did. Follow this train of thought that logically connects one of my biggest regrets to the Wolverines and their 1997 college football national championship. My story goes a…… Continue Reading
Meme MS inspiration
You likely have seen a meme. Facebook, Twitter and other social media resources are chock full of these images or pieces of text intended to make people laugh, think or feel inspired and ultimately moved to share them with their friends and followers. We’ve tried our hands (and invoked the help of our talented friends…… Continue Reading
Mumma is 40
Yes, my Mumma is FORTY. And while Mumma may not have accomplished everything she planned at 39, like driving or seeing St. Louis, she and Dan sure have done some other great stuff this year. They have spoken about their life and Multiple Sclerosis, the successes and challenges of the disease, in more places than…… Continue Reading

But in our defense
As our cat Cooper so clearly pointed out in his last blog post, Dan and I are a very busy couple. I’m still not sure if we stay so busy because we are trying to stay in front of our Multiple Sclerosis, or because we want to take advantage of every amazing opportunity this disease…… Continue Reading
There they go again

And as usual, I bring inspiration and wise words about life. Mumma and Dan are fine, busy as usual. Tomorrow morning, Mumma will…… Continue Reading
Place your bet
The mid-September sun is shining at Jennifer’s back as she comfortably sits in the recliner. Well, sits as comfortably as she can when, for the last six hours, a blood pressure monitor has consistently squeezed her left bicep and an IV port inserted in her top right wrist has pumped chemicals of hope into her…… Continue Reading
Monday Evening Events with Cooper
Good evening, dear readers, Forgive my twelve hour lateness, but while Mumma and Dan were away this cat sure did play. Writing just wasn’t a priority when I had the whole house to myself. Yes, I enjoy being alone at times and yes, I hate being alone. And yes, I am a cat of contradictions.…… Continue Reading
In front of Pharma in Philadelphia
In a less-than-silent protest Cooper is not posting his Monday morning blog this week. He’s extremely upset with Jennifer and me and made this known the second we got home late Thursday night. I kid you not: Cooper ripped off a litany of what I could only interpret as foul-mouthed meows to scold us for…… Continue Reading
