Oh my indeed, and a Happy Monday morning to you, dear readers, Life around the Digmann house has been quite busy. Maybe not for me (as I am a cat), but surely for Mumma and Dan. As you may have read in Mumma’s post last week, she hopes to start a new therapy, Retuximab, to…… Continue Reading
Catch the Digmanns in the news
Going under the knife
When Cooper alluded in his last post that neither Dan nor I have been writing for our blog, I felt the need to explain what I’ve been doing. It was three weeks ago Wednesday, July 30, that I had Gamma-Knife Radiosurgery. This was the aggressive measure I needed to take in hopes it could control…… Continue Reading
It's Monday, and I'm Back
Good morning to you all! I sincerely apologize for my absence last week. After all of those explosions on the Fourth of July, and a week full of rainstorms, complete with near constant thunder and lightning, I was not up to write my Monday Morning inspiration. And because there is no laptop or wifi access…… Continue Reading
Monday Morning
With this recent rainy weather, I’ve been spending quite a lot of time under the protection of Mumma and Dan’s bed. Yes, there is a roof on our house, but I feel safest hidden there. Despite this burden, I managed to gather a full week of wonderful quotes: Ralph Waldo Emerson, a favorite of mine,…… Continue Reading
More Monday Morning Moments
Good morning to you, my dear readers! By now, you probably know that Mumma and Dan live with me, as well as their Multiple Sclerosis. They both take medicine and see neurologists to treat the disease. And while I may hack up a hair ball or two and walk on their heads when they are…… Continue Reading

I hope my chosen quotes make you smile, think, or inspire you. Most of all, I hope these make it a little easier…… Continue Reading
A New Voice
I see things. I have a great perspective and point of view. I’m smarter than people think. And I have feelings too! I get attached to people, especially caregivers, and it seems like as soon as I warm up to them, poof—gone. Just look at that list of successful caregivers over the last eight years.…… Continue Reading
Accessible road trip tips
I recently was watching our friends’ 7-year-old daughter, Abby, and while we were drawing at Dan and my dining room table, our conversation went something like this: “So are you excited about Easter?” I asked. Distracted by the work of art she was creating, Abby muttered, “Uh-huh.” Trying to continue our lively discussion I inquired,…… Continue Reading
Mr. and Mrs. Digmann go to Washington
Either our Multiple Sclerosis finally is starting to get to us or we really are getting old. Dan and I are leaning toward the latter (OUCH!). What else would explain how we have been back from Washington, D.C., for over three weeks and have not written about this incredible experience? The Michigan Chapter of the…… Continue Reading
What would you say?
Several weeks ago, our friends at Healthline reached out to us and asked if we would develop a video that helps those newly diagnosed with MS to adjust to life with the disease and reassure them that, “You’ve Got This.” Dan and I thought it was pretty empowering, and we liked that somebody wanted to…… Continue Reading
