What is it like to pick out a pair of shoes when aesthetics are no longer the driving force behind your decision, yet you aren t ready to dress like your elderly neighbor? What is it like to board your scooter in the morning and make your way to the raspberry patch behind your house, only to stumble upon a hornets nest? The option of running is not available to you; instead you lumber away as best you can in a fit of laughter and hope you ll escape without harm. What is it like to live with mutiple sclerosis, to laugh at MS, to befriend a disease that demands so much of your life? Most of the books and other informative information currently available on MS miss the emotional mark and avoid discussion of the intrinsic land mines one encounters while coming to terms with the disease. People in the MS community are yearning for material that speaks to them, that tells them the truth about things, and that helps them to alternately cry and laugh out loud. MS is their reality and, often, they aren t given the proper tools to befriend it. Life on Cripple Creek is that book.
