In a surreal sort of way, I felt like the bad guy in a situation stripped straight from ABC’s hidden camera ethical dilemma series, What Would You Do?, hosted by John Quinones. But I had every reason and right to have our van parked in a handicapped parking spot close to Anspach Hall. Even after…… Continue Reading

A good pair of black pants
Whether you are male or female, you probably have heard about the all-important “little black dress,” well for me, an outfit starts with “a good pair of black pants.” It has been a little over eight years since I’ve driven a car. Hate that, but I accept it. Been almost that long since I’ve walked. Yep,…… Continue Reading
The bathroom floor imprinted on my face
Yes, on my face. Couldn’t have happened at a worse time. Or so I thought. Right there on a break from my class, Dan was helping me to pivot in the Anspach Hall bathroom and SMACK! Profanity! Profanity! Profanity! And Tears … tears … tears. And that wasn’t just me. I heard profanity and tears…… Continue Reading

Our 5th Anniversary in Pictures
Hard to believe. It’s been five years since I became Mrs. Dan Digmann. Me, the one living with multiple sclerosis. Me, the lucky one who saw “that cute man” on September 28, 2002. Yep, same me who married said man on September 10, 2005. Yes, this may be taking the easy way out, but I…… Continue Reading
M.S. at 2 a.m. in Orlando E.R.
It’s been a little more than six months since Dan and my trip to Walt Disney World. My memories from that um, memorable trip are still pretty fresh. Let’s see, I remember theme park rides, amazing fireworks, images of Mickey Mouse everywhere and having a great time with my family and Dan. But really what…… Continue Reading
Odds and ends
We were toying with the idea of posting a blog that ties up some loose ends, and inspired by the recent post on Brain Cheese, here are some of the things we’ve been meaning to tell you: Bruce didn’t play “For You.” Despite our valiant efforts from the not-so-cheap seats, Springsteen didn’t see our sign…… Continue Reading
River Royalty
It was a long ride to Buckley’s Mountainside Canoe. While I was excited about floating the river, all that kept coming to mind were the “what if” questions: “What if I can’t get in the river?” “What if I have to go to the bathroom?” “What if I get stuck on a rock?” “What if…… Continue Reading

Guess we’ve been busy: • Settling into a routine with our CMU graduate class, “The Legal Search for Social Justice” • Volunteering at our church – Immanuel Lutheran Church – with Jennifer serving as a Vacation Bible School teacher and…… Continue Reading
