♿️WHEELCHAIR CHALLENGE♿️HUSBAND SHOPS IN WIFES WHEELCHAIR
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 12 พ.ย. 2019
- ♿️MY NON-DISABLED HUSBAND TRYS SHOPPING IN MY OLD WHEELCHAIR CHALLENGE!!! THIS WAS HILARIOUS TO FILM, AND HILARIOUS TO EDIT. YOU CAN EXPECT TO SEE HIM STRUGGLE, TRANSFERRING THE WHEELCHAIR IN AND OUT OF THE CAR, TRYING TO OPEN DOORS FROM THE WHEELCHAIR. GOING TO THE TOILET AND MUCH MUCH MORE.
BY MAKING THIS VIDEO I WANT TO RAIS AWARENESS OF HOW DIFFICULT LIFE IS IN A WHEELCHAIR. AND HOW THE EVERY DAY TASKS TAKE SO MUCH MORE EFFORT, TIME AND ENERGY.
After suffering my spinal cord injury i have really had to adapt in life. So Im showing you my disability lifestyle to raise disability awareness. As a disabled woman and a woman in a wheelchair who is paralysed, I thought it would be interesting for you to see, and hopefully give you some inspiration and motivation so that you can live more independently. wether you are paraplegic or quadriplegic I hope that I can help you. The wheelsnoheels message is “so no one has to feel alone.”
I have lots of interesting disability videos, a lot of videos on how to cope with a disability and living life in a wheelchair, wether you are a girl boy woman or man. i have some paraplegic exercise videos, and advice. its important to keep your fitness levels up as much as possible as this can when physically and mentally with depression.
If you feel I have given you value today consider buying me a ko-fi, just think of it as a tip.

♿️Please consider sharing this video. My hope is to raise awareness of how difficult the everyday tasks can be for wheelchair users. Thank you Shaun for taking part in this video.
Shaun is lucky he is very fit and strong. I think the one thing that is hard to get across in this video is the pain and fatigue we experience.
You should have put an L plate on his wheelchair. 😂 And how many pairs of glasses have you got? 😎🤓
PageMonster OMG I do wanted to do that, I asked some friends but no one had one. Otherwise I would have! 😂
With subtitles do you mean in other languages? In that case I could do subtitles in Dutch, is there a link to make it?
How can I add subtitles?
Ive let my friends try out my wheelchair and they struggle just to get around the living room 😂🤣🥰 I loved you sneaking a tow 🧑🏼🦽👩🏼🦽
I love that Sean not only had to navigate in a wheelchair but also in one that wasn’t fitted to him. I think many of us have struggled with wheelchairs that weren’t properly fitted and the difference between different chairs adds to the challenge too! Great video!
Especially those hospital chairs that are for 300 pound people but they’re used as a 1 size fits all solution
It is sad but most people I know are in 'off the peg' chairs not fitted to them. I got one chair wide enough for me but they had put on a seat belt two inches too short!
I have the feeling something may get done about the front door step now! :))
I hope so, I put in for a grant, they came out to asses and said i should use the side access.However, Im going to fight and try again.
@@Wheelsnoheels I Tell them to show you how - they will soon change their tune.. 😉
@@Wheelsnoheels looking at your access you'll struggle I think. You could list all the issues you have with accessing your house via the side and go into detail of how it affects your quality of life but i know in my experience they don't care. My chair is damaged from getting into my house as it has a bump 🙄
Wheelsnoheels - Gem Hubbard definitely challenge their decision Gem as it would make it so much easier especially on those bad days (i would be worried incase you flipped out of your wheelchair when trying to get up the step)🤗
Show them the video of shaun falling backwards, then him trying to enter, laughing aside its no joke, besides a video like this is worth 1000 words. My front door step it tiny compared to yours but when it's wet I can't get over, I should imagine yours would be a death trap...
That glorious moment when it finally dawned on Shaun that there was a door frame around him.. 🏅
I would LOVE to see Sean clean the house in the wheelchair! My family has NO idea how exhausting it is to wheel around with the vacuum, mop, duster, etc. After a morning of cleaning, I am absolutely done and it looks like I haven’t even accomplished that much!
I am a new wheelchair user and this video is so encouraging actually!! I only ever see people who are already soooo good at their chairs and in control, this wasnt even the intended point of the video but thank you for showing that it's okay to struggle!
I really liked how you came back to all the little clips where he was making fun of the things you have to do to get things done bc it really put into perspective how different the mindset is when you are able bodied and don't have to think about how you're going to carry a big thing of milk vs a smaller one or hold onto a basket/bag when you're travelling. The moments when he realized that 'oh yeah maybe those little things you have to do and be cognizant of are actually important and useful' were my personal favorite part of this video.
Thank you Monica. I really REALLY loved putting them in. I laughed so much editing this. I think its wasy for someone to sit back and watch you and say "why dont you do it this way? Why are you doing it like that. pfft look at what youve done now." But once you try it, you realise how difficult it is.
Have him try to be in a chair for the entire day so like everything all day ! People could see our daily struggles then ! Xx
This is a good idea., But with myself needing care from him its quite tricky to film. So we might do, like a morning routine, and things like that :)
Wheelsnoheels - Gem Hubbard that’s true yeah ! or you could write a list of like 10 things that you find the hardest or most annoying that are part of your daily routine type thing and get him to try that ? So he can help you during the day ? Xx
Wheelsnoheels - Gem Hubbard I’ve read that disability simulations can have negative effects www.huffpost.com/entry/i-wont-disability-simulation_b_4936801
Personally, I like the idea, but I am able bodied so I wanted to hear your opinion.
@@nellamc5833 that's one Huffington post article by one person. This video was for fun and awareness. It can be beneficial. Especially for people involved with say architecture. Making them more aware of "a few steps isn't accesible" and "a steep ramp is hard and not really a ramp" etc. And even if people give up halfway that's cause they realise accessibility is shit. People will treat them differently especially wheelchair bound, just like they would an actually disabled person. Because they don't see the person Isn't. It may evoke a little pity in some over ignorance which a bit better, because possibly leads to accessibility.
Her main criticism is that people will still not know what exactly she goes through. However this is impossible given that everyone is different and no two people experience the world exactly the same. You also can't make someone paraplegic for a thing to create understanding, since that would just be outright cruel
He's a doll. Good humor all around. It is a drastically different perspective. I go back and forth as I use the wheelchair for bad days and long trips. It is amazing how differently people treat you. I dislike how some staff people have no idea how to help. It really should be included in all training.
Also my pickepacke arrived today! I'm excited to try it out!
Also again, tell Sean that when he ran into a coworker, it's a similar situation to those of us who are ambulatory wheelchair users. I get that look all the time.
Sarah Bent oh yeah I have the same issues. I don’t have to use my chair all the time so when they see me using it they all have that look 👀.
@@Jaggededge112 I, too, am a person with a disability. When I use a wheelchair to go out, able-bodied people often look at me with a curious gaze, as wheelchair use for mobility is not common among people with disabilities in my country. They might be thinking, 'Why are you out and about when you're in that condition?'
@@MoonRed3688 I’m so upset for you. To be looked at in pity or grossing out the masses with your disability (I’m not sure the context behind the words.) you’re still a human with feelings that deserves the same dignity they have.
This was wonderful to watch! I am wheelchair dependent and have asked my family members to try to spend a day in my chair.....no one made it beyond a few hours, and that was just at home! Congrats to you both for your perseverance!
One thing we learned on this video: you guys are changing that front door situation hahaha
OMG THE DISABLED RESTROOMS ARE AMAZING
I'm not a wheelchair user, but I am disabled and use a service dog. I love how this video demonstrated how all this extra little things that go into an outing are the really draining parts. Without a wheelchair (or dog), you can simply pop in the car and go somewhere but we have extra steps and complications. That's what I thought about when Sean talked about it taking 30 mins and you haven't even started the actual shopping yet: that's exhausting! With a dog, I have to make sure she has a chance to go out before we enter a store,. If we're out for long periods of time, I have make sure she is hydrated, that she isn't on a cold, hard floor ect. Since we are still in training, it also means we have training challenges... sometimes I have to leave if she is getting to antsy or having an off day. All these challenges are EASIER than dealing with my symptoms without my dog. That's how hard this shit is.
He seemed to do pretty well all things considered. But he has a good teacher. I loved how much joy you got from watching him do this. Great video!
Oh yeah. I loved it sooooo much. It was so good being better than him at somthing for once ;) I really love for a friend of mine to try it. Someone who dosnt see me doing it all the time. Shaun had a little advantage in that respect. x
Maybe I'm sadistic, but I loved Gem's "GOOD BOOOOY!" - as if he was a dog she was training. I expected her to give him a "Shauno Treat" from her pocket every time he achieved something. 🤣😂
So proud of you Sean having the courage to do this!! What a great idea. I may have to challenge my family to the same. Not sure if they would be as pleasant as Sean though.
I wonder what people thought seeing Shaun get out of the car, walk to get your chair out, and then sit down and get ‘his’ chair out. Great video (again). I’m not in a chair but seeing your tips and tricks have helped me with things like energy conservation and thinking of different ways to do things that I struggle to do or do “normal” and put up with the pain.
Love your channel x
hahah yes i wonder that too. However. We are so dedicated to wheelsnoheels, I really had to develop a "dont give a ...." attitude. Like vlogging in public is actually quite daunting, and people stare, but I want to produce the best I can for you. But it must have tooked pretty dodgie!
If I saw him I would think a wheelchair user.
Pawsitivley Kat actually quite a lot of wheelchair uses would be able to walk to get the chair out of the boot. - although your right that some people would judge
Katie Smith my boyfriend uses a chair and leg braces, he put the chair in the boot then ‘walks’ around.
More if someone saw Shaun get out, get a chair (normal to do) then sit back in for the filming section as if he hadn’t gotten out and get/assemble the other chair (also normal for people to do) but that little segment between. I can just imagine people doing a double take or being confused watching the behind the scenes then what was being filmed.
The difference was she didn’t slow down coming into the house just one swift motion
Shaun is a great sport! Certainly an eye-opener. Loved watching this. I’m a chair-user and my husband is sight-impaired, so we often create a hilarious fiasco when we go shopping. I enjoyed that you are so like us - laughing the whole way. ❤️
I love this video! I do things like this as well with my partner, family, and friends. As I’m also deaf, I like to have people wear earplugs for their day too! Wheelchair users for the win!
Its funny you should say that. I have quite a few deaf followers, and ive been tempted to make a video with ear plugs in. see what its like?
Gem - have you ever thought about doing a collaboration with Jessica Kellgren-Fozard? I'm sure she could offer a perspective on deafness for you.
@@sophieh2902 they collaborated a couple of years ago actually! Would be great if they could again
When he was trying to make it through the front doorway I would have just pulled myself from the door frame.
I had surgery on my left foot a couple years ago and was wheelchair bound for 3-4ish months. Went to Disney world during this time..... I have a whole new respect for people in wheelchairs now. 🥰 Y’ALL ARE BADASS! It was HARD to do normal everyday tasks. I now help whenever I can..... holding a door or grabbing something from a shelf..... being aware of myself and moving out of the way. I’m glad your husband was excited to do this with you. Great awareness video!
Gosh, I love you guys! 💕 I am seriously impressed by the level he went to and didn’t cheat!
It's a great insight and makes you think for sure. We see alot of bottoms 🙂 ....
facts. sometimes i recognizes asses better than faces.....
I would have got the gaffa tape out to make sure he doesn’t use his feet 😂🤣😂🧑🏼🦽👩🏼🦽think you may have to buy him some L plates 🧑🏼🦽👩🏼🦽Bless you Shaun for being a good egg and taking on the challenge with a smile 😀 Gem you absolute legend! 🤗🥰🤗
Yeessss!! I love seeing non-wheelies do wheelie stuff. Supermarkets are so easy to push on, maybe next he could try cobbles, or a Christmas market seeing as those are coming up, those are always fun when using a wheelchair.
You guys should have a "race" have a set number of tasks to do in the day and the first one homes wins. Taking public transport.
Sean wouldn't be able to experience the issues that the chronic pain cause, which would affect how quickly Gem can do things, even though she's more experienced with the wheelchair life, so I think it's still not going to be as comparable. Entertaining, though! I remember telling a friend what they would have to do to experience a shower like I would, they tried it and came out in utter disbelief of how difficult it actually was.
Oh yeah... public transit is just wonderful...when they pull up and they say ...sorry all of our wheelchair spots are full... you'll have to wait for the next one... ooohh and the next one isn't for an hour...annnddd...it's raining... but there's plenty of Room for people who can stand...
Great video it highlights only a small portion of how life is in a chair. After the elation of finally being moblie in a chair, I think the honeymoon period wears off after about 2-3 weeks and then the rudeness and inconsideration start to arrive in consecutive spurts that can really make the already limiting and dauting limitations a chair provide a real nightmare. Its really even worse for those in an electric chair than a manual chair. Electric chairs are even bulkier and have no where near the manuverability that manual chairs provide. Popping wheelies and climbing curbs or doorstops are completely impossible. This video at least highlights "some" of the difficulties and a little bit of insite into why disabled people are always exhausted. Couple this exaustion with pain and you get an idea of what hell some people have to go through for even mundane tasks.
ytfp please watch 8 videos of Jim Nduruchi
@@irenedavo3768 dunno who that is and any match such as Jim Nduruchi RUS seem to have unrelated content.
If your powerchair had suspension you would be able to surmount kerbs etc, however I would always look for a dropkerb so as not to strain the chair. But if push came to shove.......
@@thewisepowerchair2369 Powerchairs don’t have suspension, there are some specialty offroad ones or the bounders that do but normal chairs have none and weigh too much to jump curbs.
I have a power attachment (Spinnergy ZX-1) and you can wheelie a little by going over the bump one wheel at a time. You need big front castors and luck that there’s not a grade difference on one side vs another, but it can be done
Absolutely love how seriously Shaun takes this!
Going in a wheelchair is a humbling experience. I am in a wheelchair now I thank you for some new ideas. I learn some ways to deal with it I also teach kids about being handicapped so they will have a much better respect for those in need and sometimes the adults listen and learn too because kids are honest and ask questions adults don't
Omg I loves this. I smiled the while way through. I am going to have my husband do the same. Omg yessss . So funny he did great!!!
"How am I gonna drive?" 🤦 He does know you have hand controls, doesn't he? 😜 🤣 😂
Probably wouldnt be safe for him to use those if he didnt know propper training on them.
Yeah and you have to declare them on insurance, and be insured to drive with them, and since this is on the internet, we decided not to go with it!! 😂
@@Wheelsnoheels Is your car on Motability? If so, he is OK if he's your named other driver.
Sean is a legend!! What a great video! I loved this! Until I started using my chair I had no idea about the ‘butt view’ and ‘phone zombie’ problem that us wheelies have to deal with. I’m so sick of getting bums in my face, nearly sat on my people in supermarkets who aren’t paying attention and surprising phone zombies who don’t look up from texting!! I’m a teacher and I’m trying to educate my students about being a little more aware of the disabled community. I’m going to show my tutor group this.
Love your channel...full of great light! Thank you for giving me hope when I felt being in a chair was going to end my prospects. You have shown me and many others joy through your positivity.
Samantha Coleman maybe see if you can run wheelchair classes so they really understand especially with world days of disabilities coming up in December 😉 ( ask a Mobility centre if you they could help run the class and lend some wheelchairs) 🤗👩🏼🦽🧑🏼🦽
awww thank you. Your lovey comment brought little tears to my eyes. Im so glad my videos have helped you xxx
Samantha Coleman please watch 8 videos of Jim Nduruchi
I love your videos! My wife and I are both in wheelchair. It does make it interesting to try to do things! We are in them all he time every day.
I've watched this one several times over the last year and it's still one of my favorites :-)
I’m a newbie to your channel, my nephew is a recent leg amputee and is 15mths into his wheelchair lifestyle. Your channel is really helpful and creates a lot of awareness about living with a physical injury and how to best navigate in a wheelchair!❤
Your both great sports and bring such a light hearted yet powerful awareness to dealing with the physical, emotional and mental demands of daily life challenges that may crop up throughout your day!
I’ll certainly continue to checkout your brilliant content, thank you 🙏❤
Well done Shaun. Here in Australia some of the supermarkets chains have wheelchair trolleys that make shopping a bit easier. I also keep a pickup stick attached to the chair for lighter items that higher up.
Your poor chair. lol I wonder how people would cope in a power chair for a day ... like trying to access public transport, get through narrow doors, pushing a trolley etc...lol
I’m an L3 complete para and omg that bathroom is a dream. Lol. I live in America and we have our ADA laws which are pretty great.... But I have never encountered a bathroom that accessible anywhere in America. They tend to do the bare minimum with the grab bars in public restrooms here. And most of the time someone that doesn’t need to be using the accessible bathroom at all is in it and I have to wait. 😑
American accessible bathrooms are so sad :/ I'm from Texas and recently visited norway- was absoutly shocked by so much! Many of them even have a cord that dangles near the floor if you fall or the like! And every one i saw also had a door button, which ive never seen for a bathroom here? Was seriously frustrated getting back to the US where accessible bathrooms are just slightly larger with a single bar :/
Hi Gem, Your hubby done extremely well 👍☺️ It is difficult shopping in an wheelchair so I hope people will give a lot more thought and consideration to people in this situation all the best Lin x
Shaun Is always such a good egg and a good sport about things!!
Your husband is a great laugh. 😂
Gemma, this cracked me up lol..... I'm going to get my Mrs to do this. She is always saying to me "come on, hurry up!".. (Phil)
You're husband is so supportive. My partner was awful when I got I'll, he wouldn't go out with me with my chair. We're no longer together. It's lovely to see your experience 😊
This was such a great video!!! It was a perfect way for someone who does not have a physical disability to see how much more work having a wheelchair can be on a daily basis.
I love this!!
I have actually been saying that I think Able-Bodied people could benefit from trying out a wheelchair. It helps people understand the types of obstacles that we have to deal with everyday, plenty of which are things most people wouldn't really think of. I've only been using a wheelchair for around a year (wish I'd found this back then...) And I have learned soooo much!
I love this! it shows just because you watch someone do it you still don't know. good job hubby!
Wow, as a new chair user, this really hit me in the “feels”, this is such a powerful message , thanks for,sharing
quiet entertaining to watch and very educational!
I also hope ya hubby has now made a ramp for your front door access to help you out a little
I know you made this a couple of years ago but I only just found it. I wish you would make a whole series like this however make Sean film himself. Do not go with him. I repeat do not go with him. Let him navigate the world on his own.
Have him do a grocery store challenge ones and then maybe the following week to see how he does things differently once he’s learned something and then you could have a parallel the video showing how you do it because you’ve had several years to figure some stuff out.
I actually think it’s very very educational for folks to see how it enabled by the person attempts to navigate the world and the challenges which confront the disabled person.
I am disabled. Multiple Sclerosis. Mainly in a wheelchair was very limited ability to stand and take a couple of steps. Terrible balance. Living in Chicago. I really enjoy your videos
Please do a holiday shopping trip, if at all possible. Shaun needs to put in a slight ramp at the door for you. A Christmas gift? There you go. Merry Christmas. 👍🏽
Lisa TheCatDude a ramp is essential damaging wheelchair too
This is a fantastic video, it shows that even people who are very close to you do not really understand just how difficult it actually is doing even simple (let alone difficult) things while in a wheelchair, I'm slightly worst off than some others as I can't get out of the chair (I even sleep in it). Keep making these great videos Gem.
I wish I had a spare chair so my spouse could do this she’s able to walk but still rides in my chair for fun from time to time around our apartment
Piece of advice for bathrooms: avoid the hand blower like the plague. They have been proven to spread germs really badly. It is more hygienic to use the paper napkins.
That was an awesome video to do!! People really don’t understand how exhausting it is just getting in and out of a vehicle!! By the time you get into a store your already in pain and wiped out! Thankfully in the USA we have pick up services and grocery delivery services that are free. I use Walmart’s grocery app and then drive to the store and they bring it all out and load it in my vehicle. Its so hard to maneuver my power chair with one hand and then try to push a cart with the other. When I use to have to shop that way I would have to make sure I had NO PLANS for 2 to 3 days after due to pain. Being in a manual chair there’s no way you could even push a cart, you have to use a handheld basket. My friends talk about going to the cleaners, then one grocery store and then another and going to the post office and and and and ... I’m like that would be so nice to just get all that done in a morning but I have to pick and choose what has to be done. One or two places and I’m worn out!! I’m for sure sharing this video!!
Gem is so cute w braids and glasses omg
Awesome video. Many more people should do this. Thank you
I’m having my friends do this. Not so much to show them my life, I want to have a laugh.
O M G !!! As someone who is Diffabled I found this Hilarious. What a fun idea. You got my Subscription.
Greetings from NY, Such a great video, great quality image too.. 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 many blessings 🙏🏾❤️ you and your husband are awesome together, enjoyed watching your channel, subscribed and liked..
Sean is soooo funny he’s a scream great video 😂
There'd definitely be no grocery shopping for me. I'm tired already and you just got into the car.
I am new to your channel. I absolutely love it. I felt so upset and isolated today after recently being diagnosed with various illnesses. I rely on mobility aids and I haven’t wanted to leave my house. This really cheered me up. I love your positivity. Your happiness.
Impressed by your first shop in a wheelchair. I drive but cannot cope at the petrol station my husband has to fill my car. As well as having mobility issues I have strength issues it would take ages for me to do this as I cannot lift my own chair and my car is not fitted to remain in my chair. I do wish petrol stations still had assistants as a matter of course! It may be a good challenge for him.
This was a brilliant idea for a vlog Gem. I laughed so much at Shaun nearly dropping the shopping when you got home after he'd laughed at you holding it in your mouth. It worked well adding in all the clips from the previous video as it really highlighted the struggles people have no idea about! You should totally make this into a series! (Sorry Shaun ;) )
That's awesome video asked your husband to do another challenge in getting ready in the morning using the wheelchair😀😊
house chores!! lets see him do the house chores you do on a daily!
Love you both...and this is a profound video...not something often seen...so another success for WNH! ♥
Well done. I couldn't look when you were coming out of the house
Popped up in my recommendations! Instant sub! I have cerebral Palsy, and am a "part time" wheelchair user. I can relate to frustrations with thresholds.
This was wonderfully done and really interesting! I'd be willing to spend a day in your shoes to further my knowledge and make me a better person x😊
Your husband is a better man than I :)
The anxiety I felt for him!
Omg he’s so adorable good job. This opened my husbands eye. Thank you
I just found your channel and I LOVE this video!! I think everyone that designs public spaces should have an idea of what it's like to navigate those spaces from an accessibility standpoint.
I'm a programmer and attended a conference where a speaker invited us to use our phones as though we were visually impaired and let me tell you how much of an ohhhhh moment it was. I am now fully aware that something insignificant to me may make a feature unusable for someone else.
Thank you both for your candor and enthusiasm, and although I've never been in a wheelchair I feel like I have a greater understanding of some of the challenges you face and opportunities where I can work on some of my unconscious reactions.
Nice one, another enjoyable vlog. just a real eye opener to watch him do somethings that come so natural to you. Thank You
Wow I love how much of a sport your husband was. He left the house in the wheelchair, I though the two of you would wait until you got there! Amazing!
This a must video, because shows how not so easy as it looks to do the everyday things most people take for granite
great video it shows me how my life is changing. I think he did better than I will for a bit
Oh my goodness you to are gorgeous together love you sweetie an I love your videos God bless you two you have a wonderful husband
I’m about to start using a wheelchair so this has given me lots of tips!
LOL @9:54 "I'll get a seat" That's MY punny!
Thank you so much for doing this it would be good if others could take up the challenge. Just to see how much is involved in doing every day tasks if I lived nearer to you I would have gone and got you a cheese burger for a special treat and thank you I think this will make a big input how about changing the bed clothes remaking the bed all washed and dry
I'm a part time chair user, and I don't consider myself to have amazing wheelchair skills (I still sometimes get stuck hopping down curbs), but watching videos like this reminds me how much I've learned!
I love this! I’m blind and get my roommate to do different challenges.
I came across your videos after TH-cam recommended them; and I am SO glad I did. They are all very informative. As someone who is waiting for my first electric wheelchair aged 43, your videos have helped me with so much!!!! Especially the disabled trolleys. I’ve never used one even when I’ve been pushed in a manual as I’m scared of looking a fool not knowing how they fit to a chair. Never realised they’re so easy. Love your channel and have subscribed and liked
He’s lovely - so are you. 💕💕
Well done Well done Sean it’s nice to see a little body people put themselves challenged or not into other peoples positions because I think it makes table party people learn from what does disabled people have to deal with on a daily basis I don’t always use my wheelchair but the older I get the more I’ve had to start using it so thanks again for doing this for your wife you guys make great videos thanks again
hi I know this video 3 years ago but as with all wheelchair info, its still current... So with this in mind. You show the dreaded vacumme cleaner. I do the vacumming but takes lots of patients and co ordination. i always plug in then work away from the plug. giving the cord less time to chase me. We have cordless upstairs BUT beware. You then have heavey weight to hold on to. Not sure why. But i find its harder to use. My advice is to ask friends and family around for a vacume tea party. Triel their cleaners before rushing off to the stores. Hope this helps. And huge thank you for the videaos and advice. I first began my journey in 2015 as wheelchair user. CRPS... easier to look in up. right leg from knee down. Then amputation dec 2022. I cought Covid in the January. So no physio or advice on how to use my chair. It was seen that id been using one so i knew how to cope. No... balance, fear etc etc. All has changed. So your videos have been the best help. Thank you. Chris
Really well done man. :-)
POV:when you just watched her on news
Brilliant video as usual, I've just had my first chair delivered a couple of days ago, it's going to take some getting used to,not been out in public yet because of the virus, I am lucky though, I can cheat because I can still walk, only partially paralysed from neck down but legs getting worse as I get older and fatter and I have falls, hence the need for a chair now, also, trying to wheelie an NHS chair has to be near impossible, keep up the great work Gem.
What a great video! Sean was a real hero for show how hard it could be! I don't think most people understand how much it changes your life when you need it a wheelchair. Only the part that you all of a sudden becomes a different person in the society, from just a regular one to a handicapped. I noticed that people all of a sudden started to say hello to me, even if I didn't know them. My children always joke about that..
This is the first of your videos I’ve seen. It popped up in my feed. It made me realize how much i take for granted. And I even work in a place where people are in wheelchairs. This is a great video.
I asked my husband to try this one time but he wouldn't do it. You're a very good sport Shaun!
Dang, couldnt stop laughing !
he is such a good sport
I absolutely loved this video! 100% get him to do more stuff. It was really sweet watching him get emotional at the end ❤❤❤
Crowded shops was also the biggest surprise for me using a wheelchair! It's just impossible to see where you're going or to push past anyone, you really just have to leave and come back when its quieter, I hadnt even considered that might be a problem before
Lesson number one, never mistake the pull cord in the handicapped access toilet for a flusher lol. I think that the top shelf in a the stores in the US might be even higher up but that might partly be because we are not using metric.
This is amazing. You make it look so easy!!!
