AUTUMN CLOTHING HAUL //How to choose clothes as an ambulatory wheelchair user
Hiya!
I’m Ellie and this channel follows me on my journey through life, navigating chronic illness and disability in a world that wasn’t designed for us. Adaptove clothing is so financially inaccessible so here is my guide to choosing clothes as a wheelchaur user and what I look for in mainsream clothing. I am in love with some of these autumnal pieces!

    I actually quite like this video. The clothes haul with Ralph in the back squeaking away was so fun. I did let the time get away from me and almost missed an appointment because i was watching lol. I really liked the trainers you got, the pink and sage looked really nice. Doesn't match the vibe tho you're right. I find the biggest perk of my chair is being able to choose shoes more for style than function.

    AC was non negotiable for our new flat; we're putting a portable AC in because I just can't do the heat. Its only just gotten cool enough to leave it off in the evenings (it's a cool 8-9° at nights now, so lovely) I don't love my legs in my chair, I'm a trousers person. For the heat, I love linen harem trousers. Got them from india and honestly, love them. So lightweight and cool. Love seeing the touches you're putting on your new place, hope it feels like home soon. Looked like you had a great vacation, and hopefully we see more Ralph soon :) I love your style of vlogs, they feel a lot more personal than many TH-camrs I follow.

Taking a break while my footage is being imported. Oh uh, America doesn't use the metric system like the rest of the world so 20 to them means winter temperatures, haha! I watched the Para Olympics and oh my gosh, I witnessed Nicholas Bennett’s gold medal!! It was absolutely incredible!! So grateful to have witnessed this!! He actually lives not to far from me in Alberta Canada! Hmmm, I don’t know about the hot beverages making you cooler. But my oh my, I am a huge hot tea fan lol It’s going to be winter here soon. I mention this in next week’s vlog. I feel like we seem to touch base on alot of similiar things! OMG - I only wear ankle socks when it’s spring, summer and fall! And to be exact, I only wear Puma’s!! The mall ceiling is very pretty! … We have Booster Juice here in Canada which I love! There is an orange cream one that I always order without protein! The cushions look super comfy. They will be cute for Christmas too if you decorate for xmas! I feel like anytime you have to sync something with a phone app there is always some type of glitch or misconnection! How frustrating!

    WCS is awful now, I got a poorly measured up active wheelchair I was supposed to have a Jayback mold for my back but they didn't want to spend more money so they gave me a bit of foam instead we argued and they just threatened just to give me a basic wheelchair instead. Going to pay for private somewhere like RGK but just curious did you get power assist device on the WCS or did you pay for it yourself?

    • @SmallandStrong66

      An RGK wheelchair is the dream!! I think wheelchair services can give you a voucher towards buying privately but I’ve never tried it. The power assists were ordered through wheelchair services but I paid privately. My WCS have the nhs section and then another section for parts you pay privately for but it’s all under the same umbrella.

    Hey Ellie so sorry you're going through this at the moment, it can been super hard sometimes just to get people to understand. we shouldn't have to fight this hard to get basic things to work. is your one the same as a Batec? as I have a Batec on my old wheel chair that I use when we go out with the kids and also have my power chair for day to day stuff. but I had to fight so hard just to get the funding I was very close to giving up but I stuck with it had has been worth it so far. also I this its great you can get the word out their about this and hopefully someone might see this video and it may help.

      It’s the same concept as a BATEC but different brand. I will never buy one from this brand again so I’m going to have a look at the batec and maybe street jet. It’s so frustrating because I NEED the equipment but they can’t make it work!

      @@SmallandStrong66 you may be able to get a Batec or similar 2nd hand if u need too. yeah I need either my power chair or Batec to get out the house so when tmy batec dies into are what I will do as they cost so much money which I hate that we have to pay more for everything just because we are disabled doesn't seem right. hope all the auditions go well. do u have any other friend with disability or are their any groups u could join if u wanted as it really help me to chat to other who understand what its like. thats why ur videos are great as it get the word out about how hard it is

      I've heard a lot of good things about the Batec and the tri-ride; that brand may be worth a look as well.
