Rob, you might be able to use an indoor dipole or perhaps a balcony antenna. 
Also, there are those magnetic loop antennas that might work for you, but 
they're fairly expensive as I recall.

Regarding antenna tuners, I use an MFJ 993B autotuner that's pretty simple 
to work for a blind guy.  If it's on autotune, you just put your rig into a 
low-power tune, and it tunes automatically, and then remembers the setting 
for that frequency range, so it's really quick the next time.  Also, the 
auto-tuners in the transceivers out today are simple to use.
