[nfb-talk] Does anyone know independent blind people using wheelchairs or walkers?

[Cory McMahon]

I'm a wheelchair user, and certainly would not be at all offended if someone
brushed by me; in fact, I think I'd strike up a conversation, all be it a
short one.

I have seen many blind wheelchair users at conventions and such, but never
asked how they do what they do. I always figured that since I truly don't
like being asked dumb questions while I am trying to navigate through my
busy day, they probably would not either. Also some that I have encountered
by accident by either accidentally brushing past them in an aisle or
something similar were not all that friendly. I hope that does not speak for
the majority.

Karen,
After a serious back injury I spent five years using a wheelchair.  I used
it both with a long cane and with a guide dog.  I may end up back in one
myself because my arthritis is getting worse and so is my multiple
sclerosis.  The NFB has an email list go to www.nfbnet.org and look for
blind rollers.
Write to me off list so we can chat.

My knees have given out finally and I need to switch to walker or
wheelchair. Does anyone know blind people who have done this? Thank you.
