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
It is hard to believe it has been more than a month since I’ve shared my wisdom with you, dear readers. How have you survived without me? Well, never fear, I’m back! 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
A needle, an M.R.I., and a paper. Oh my!

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
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
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
