Nicholette you look great in this video. Healthy an refreshed.
Just be patient and it will work itself out
Have FUN and be SAFE
Good to see you getting back to the life you dream. 😊
Arizona in the winter is awesome and I bet I can get you access to a friends gem claim out there. ❤
I got a bad pressure sore some 20 years ago, not long after my injury. In the process of treating it, we met a doctor who introduced us to alternating pressure pads. It allows me to sleep all night without having to turn, along with many other benefits. I haven't had any problems with pressure sores since using them. Hope this helps, God bless! ❤
I totally know what you are talking about. I was born with spina bifida, and hydrocefalus, so i have a drainagesystem, controling the fluid become to much, it will flow away through the drainage, and a few days after born i got in a epileptic attack, but everything is under control now, since i was 3 years old, i was permanent in a wheelchair
You both are so inspirational
I get it my wife just had her right leg amputated due to blood clots now we have to change our life style.
🙏
Thanks!
Thank you so much for your support!!
You guys are amazing people ❤I love everything you put on your channel, you help a lot of people, iv never traveled but definitely would love to see snow and be in a cabin with a beautiful fire place ❤
Great update!!! You both look so happy to be home! Where to spend the winter... I have a few suggestions! Of course I do! 😂 Waterton International Peace Park in Wyoming (also in Canada but I don't think you can go into Canada) is an amazing State Park. The Grand Tetons if you've never been there is will blow your mind! I burst out crying the first time I went there. It's so majestic and drop-dead gorgeous! Jackson Hole, Wyoming is also amazing! Almost anywhere in Colorado in the mountains. Utah also is amazing. Flagstaff is nice but Prescott is much better and a bit smaller so not so crowded! Jerome the ghost town near Prescott is also nice but it might be difficult for a wheelchair. It has a great history! Sedona in the winter is fabulous because most of the tourists are not there! And if you do go into Sedona stop at the many Vortexes in the area, take your crystals and clear them... I did that and it was pretty amazing! The Grand Canyon in the winter is another magical place with the mesa's dusted with snow! Wherever you end up you will make it special because that's who you are! Can't wait to see what's next for you both!
You guys look so relieved since the surgery, I’ve have 4 surgeries due to my psoriatic arthritis and I can totally relate to questioning if your body is going to fail you or support you, I’ve found myself having ptsd just going to see my surgeon that I love and trust
Your face turned red when discussing sharing your experience. That shows how real you are being! Thank you for sharing as I am sure there are others who will learn from your experience.
I appreciate your willingness to share so much of your life. Thank you. I’m an old polio survivor with one paralyzed leg and a noticeable limp. Nevertheless I was on my feet all day for years and years in retail. During all that time, I was very frank with all who worked with me about my handicap. In fact, my coworkers and I used to make fun of it. That way if there was something I couldn’t do we all knew what was going on. Nobody ever complained that I got special treatment!
Lake Tahoe!!! I would come meet you there!! We live near Lake Tahoe!
They stay strong though you can do it.
Hi guys.
Sorry for being a little quiet, I've been battling a chest infection from being bed-bound. So incredibly pleased for your continued healing. Sending love and prayers always 👏💜👍🙏🤗♿️

You both look so much more relaxed than you have in a long time which is great to see. Hopefully your recovery continues successfully and you can get back on the road soon. Keep being awesome!
YOU LOOK AWESOME. Thanks for sharing your journey. You both look so happy
U r really The best ❤
Nicholette you look so refreshed, relieved, and healthy.It is clear a weight has been lifted.
Hopefully the abnormal times are “behind” you. Lol get it?
It’s hilarious how she always cuts you off when you talk about the 2 bucks!!!
Nicolette you are a superstar ! Brian I adore you and you have done incredibly in taking care of everything. It would be great to hear Nicolette speak without interruption ❤️
Moab, Utah is gorgeous in the winter. Unreal red rock formation!!
Upper peninsula Michigan has some beautiful views DONT know if I follow NOMADIC INTROVERT she’s a van lifer as well but has been to some awesome places or the Schoeller family maybe all of u can share some amazing spots with each other ! I complete adore you znicholette I have osteomyelitis in my foot the wanted to amputate and I denied it over and over and here I am walking again on my own so u got this girl before u know it this will be a past time and u will have much better memories
I can see the difference with you too! Just take your time and don’t push yourself! We love you and want you healthy and happy! ❤
SO happy to see you're back in the van! Glad surgery went so well and you're healed. Yes, once we have the surgery it takes awhile to get back into our chairs again- I have had 2 in 21 yrs in the chair so I TOTALLY understand what they both have been thru. It will take a bit to totally heal but will still have to be monitored as the skin is now compromised, which sucks but we can do it! When I mentor newly injured, I tell them it's ok to go down the rabbit hole but pop up now and then....AZ is awesome in the winter of course. Would love to meet you both if you come to the Phoenix area. DEFINITLY take your time to heal completely for sure. Take care. Hugs to you both.
Nicolette, all this bed rest has made you look so refreshed and healthy! I’m sure the removal of the infection makes a big difference too.❤
We can see the weight has been lifted. You both look great! Thanks for the update.
Been here since the launch of your channel. As a fellow wheelchair user...this is our lives! Of course we've been here staying up to date and following your journey. You had a set back and a learning curve. Now time to get out there and get to doing it again.
Whhohhooo back in the van! So happy for you guys. Cheers to healing and new adventures. ❤
Thank you so much!! We’re almost there and are excited to get back to normal life for us! We will make a video for members first when we are officially traveling again ❤️
Good to see you healing so quickly. Both of you need to get back on the road, we miss your travels so much. Bless you both, stay strong and positive.❤❤❤
Nicholette, I'm so glad you got through the sand bed and have healed thus far (fingers crossed because I'm superstitious)! my mother had the same surgery at a different age, under VERY different health conditions (after chemo that really messed up her body) and it didn't go well, especially the sand bed. I didn't want to post about it until you were off the bed, which is where my mom encountered her issues. you're much younger, in better health and you made it through that! so happy and thinking ONLY good things for your future healing and your return to your regular life. I do understand how scary pressure sores are, and am glad you got through finding a doctor -- all of it. you're doing great advocating for your health. continue taking care and I'm looking forward to your future content! ❤
You both look great- so happy for you!
I was wondering how you got out of the hospital so soon. I was told not to get out of bed at all until at least8 weeks
You both look happy and refreshed 🎉
Yes, thank you for sharing your journey. You two are an incredible inspiration. Yay for healing!!! Keep up the good work, you've got this. ❤️
I’m glad you are gonna take your time to be sure you are healed. Here’s hoping your “butt” will treat you well because you certainly have been good to it. I don’t think you have to worry about any of us going anywhere. I for one have been rooting for you and will continue to do so. Don’t cut off Brian when he mentions membership its not like your demanding anything from anyone but it’s an option everyone should know about. It’s perfectly acceptable all TH-camrs that I have seen have it and mention it. Why shouldn’t you too😀
Glad you are doing so well Nicolette! What a journey!
It’s so good to see you both… Nicolette you look great. I appreciate y’all sharing your journey with us .I will continue to pray for a speedy recovery .
Awesome!
Glad your better
Do u have a home base 😊
Congratulations!
I am so happy for you two!
Recovery after surgery....it is what works for you.❤
You are both an inspiration to so many! Been following you guys from the beginning of your build! What a ride you’ve been on! So glad you’re nearing the other side of this obstacle and set back! Stay the course!!!
You both look so happy.
Nicolette, I am so happy for you that you have someone so supportive & loving. I hope I have someone like Brian someday. I have a neurological condition that for all practical purposes doesn’t allow me to sit. I can stand, but not for long periods of time. I am not a wheelchair user. My late husband was killed in 2019, 2 weeks after I became disabled. I did have a BF for almost 2 yrs til he ghosted me. I'm going to start dating again in the early part of the new year. Butt surgeries are tough, I had one in 2020, and had those "matress" stitches on both sides of my backside. I imagine you have a lot of bruising. I bet you'll be celebrating when those stitches come out ❤
Miss you guys. Glad to hear from you again. You both earn a medal. So pride. You both had a difficult time. May you go from strength to strength. Go well. Mutch love
You look really healthy Nicolette. Nice to see you feel better than before!!
I can't wait to see you trafel again.
Good luck healing. Bay Ingrid
Go to El Salvador il meet you there 😀
You're looking and doing great, Nicolette. It's been a long road but you're getting there. Look forward to watching you and Brian in the future.
Glad to see you healing in my prayers 🙏
