A blind man, in a wheelchair, at work filling a cold food vending machine.

My husband Ron has been blind since age 10. He has partial paralysis and a head injury from an accident in 2003. Last year, he developed a nerve disease as a result of an allergic reaction to an antibiotic. Here he is on a typical day at work, filling up a vending machine from his wheelchair.

One of my first videos... sorry for bad angles and jerkiness.

This really makes you think about people with _minor_ disabilities who claim they can't work.

I am incredibly proud of my husband. He really makes it look easy.

I've been totally bind and had Cerebral Palsy since birth and had a spinal cord injury in 2004. I was beginning to feel like I was the only blind wheelchair user out there for awhile! It seems like you both enjoy the vending machines job. It would be cool to figure out how they worked on the inside.

Heather, I was looking for you! I found these videos through your Blog. Your husband is an amazing trooper! He can manage that chair better than I can my own feet.

Thinking of you fondly
