I Started an MS Blog

Well, it's actually an "MS blog" as well as a "wheelchair blog" as well as a "me blog". But I guess that's what blogging is all about.

The response to the video I posted last week was so positive that it pushed me to finally enter the blogosphere, something I've resisted for a long time.

Please check it out, and tell me what you think.

yeah robbie that's a good idea! I vote for that too! and how do you know Marc that you have enough battery to get back? can the chair go for long times without charge?

and I still want to see how you get around a train station......I have no idea if you've ever been to one but you have them in NY do you not? but a recent PBS special on the grand canyon train ride made me think maybe that would be a perfect disabled person's vacation but I can't imagine how a person would get around a train, like what's the toilet like? MSers need to know :oops

................ so you see how easy it is for me to give you an assignment ..... :wink: but hey you are my favorite wheelchair kamikaze videographer so there you go.

on a full charge, the chair can go about 15 miles, so I can go quite a long distance.

Don't know about train stations, I've never tried to use the chair and one. I suppose they have to be wheelchair friendly, though I'm sure the trains themselves must be kind of tight. I can still stumble around a little bit with the use of a cane, so I think that's what I would do on a train...
