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

Our story in pictures
We wanted to share with everyone the link to an incredible multimedia package about us that is in the April 25 Morning Sun’s print and online editions. The project started when Morning Sun photographer Ryan Evon approached us about following us around to develop a photo essay for the area daily newspaper. This package represents…… 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
And we were really dancing
Moving to the music on the dance floor is nothing new for Jennifer and me. At weddings and parties we always go and claim an unoccupied corner of the dance floor – out of everyone’s way – and “dance.” This dancing involves Jennifer elevating her powerchair seat so we’re closer to the same height and…… Continue Reading
Membership has its privileges
Does standing room only apply to me anymore? After all, I no longer stand. Yes, I’m being cheeky but something that happened earlier this week got Dan and I thinking. Central Michigan University hosted many events to celebrate Martin Luther King Week, highlighted by a keynote performance by Danny Glover – yep, Lethal Weapon Danny…… Continue Reading
Odds and ends

For You: An open letter to Bruce Springsteen

Instead, we’ll be holding up our “4 U” request all the way across the…… 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
On the river without a paddle
Like it or not, it’s fall. The leaves are changing – lots have already fallen off the trees. Temperatures are dropping. The heat is on at our house. And I’m sporting sweaters way more than T-shirts. Yep, as much as I dislike it, fall is here. Which means winter is around the corner. Depressing, isn’t…… Continue Reading
Running with MS, pt. 2
’Cause in the darkness I hear somebody call my name And when you realize how they tricked you this time And it’s all lies but I’m strung out on the wire In these streets of fire From “Streets of Fire” by Bruce Springsteen I glance down at my feet and I see them striding in…… Continue Reading
