What happens when you are diagnosed with an incurable muscle wasting condition, called Inclusion Body Myositis, and told that you will lose your mobility? Simple tasks such as picking things up, opening things, getting up from a chair, walking, climbing steps and driving become enveloped in new complexities, assisted by curious equipment. Familiar places become inaccessible, blocked by steps and often unnecessary barriers. Add to that the injuries from falling… ...Oh! and many unexpectedly funny situations. Up Cripple Creek gives an account of the author's comical battles with his disability interspersed with stories about the history of disability.
