Hello again,
I hope you are having a good week so far.
On this week's episode of What's Your Excuse? I'm happy to be speaking with Gary Foster.
He is the outreach advocate for Esight.
It feels like Gary's life is like a song in three movements.
He grew up an active outdoorsman who loved being in nature. He was totally healthy, and was active in his community.
Then, he experienced vision loss. And for a while he was a bit lost.
He talks about not feeling like himself.
And then he discovered the Esight device and regained a lot of his functional vision.
This allowed him to be more involved in home and enjoy his kids and grandkids so much more.
It allowed him to get back to his previous vigorous outdoor lifestyle. Including returning to wood working.
He can use all his power tools including his chain saws again. But he said Esight only allows him to do this because he did it before.
I'm impressed with how he has handled all the changes in his life.
And his wife is an amazing woman who forced him to actually purchase a unit. so he could enjoy the improved vision.
I think I should mention here that everyone is different.
Some people, who become disabled, find a way to live a fulfilling life in spite of their disability.
Others, because of their previous lifestyles, have a hard time adjusting to a disability.
And others spend all their time seeking out that next medical treatment or piece of technology.
We all have to run our own race.
I think we can learn a lot from Gary because even with the device he still had to have the courage to try.
There are some great stories in this episode. And I know you will be entertained.
Two Things To Know.
One, I do not edit this podcast.
The style is called recorded live.
Two, I sing on the intro.
Most enjoy my singing, and it gets me in the right mindset to record.

This is where I would usually include Gary's bio.
And I still hope to add his formal bio.
But he so strongly believes in the Esight device and the company that makes it that he asked me to include their website and social media links.

I really appreciate Gary sharing his story with us.
He invested his time, and he opened himself up to us.
