Hi wheels2 walking although I’m not in a wheel chair for good I have been using one for the last 8 months due to cancer and my hip being Broken in two spots from it, I’m slowly walking more and more and can now walk about 150 feet without any help, I’m only 14 and I find your videos helpful and inspiring to get get up and get stuff done thanks for sharing your journey and experience you have helped and inspired many.great vids keep up the good work👍😁

You should look into getting a robot vacuum, they can really help with allergies since you can schedule them to vacuum daily. It will get the cat hair off if your floor really quick.

Hey, love your vids!
I was in a workplace accident going on 6yrs this September, T10-T11 incomplete para unable to walk with constant pain and spasticity. After my accident my wife left me so I moved into a condo, very nice but was always afraid of fire. I now own a small horse farm in the country with 7 horses and two dogs, my daughter chose to live full time with me so I also took the responsibility of her at the age of 12, she is now 18 and one helluva young woman. I'm very proud of what I've accomplished since moving out on my own, we're definitely stronger than we think. I'm completely independent, drive, ATV, sled (snowmobile) ect...and will be building a 1979 cb650 into a cafe racer over the next couple yrs so I can finally get to throw a leg over two wheels again...Keep up the awesome vids!!!

I’m not a wheelchair user, but I like to be educated about how other people live. How often are you out of the chair and how long can you walk for a day?

[SherisBagofHolding]

Such a cute kitty. I am in a chair too. I share a house with four dogs and boy friend. Weekly sweeping, moping often. We have been doing this for ten years and I never knew about approach from the side in your chair. Will make cleaning easier I pray. I run the dish washer because I can't wash dishes easy. Thank you for the glimpse into your life. I use my air fryer for everything including toast. It is so much easier to pull it out then a pan from the oven. I use a rice cooker too.

[maggielettvin]

Been in a power chair for 10 years. Totally adapted my apartment so as to remain always independent. I am a 95+ year old female. Do my own cleaning dishwashing, vacuuming,
meal prepping- I do everything myself. Take no meds, have no pain.

Your apartment is so interesting! It wasn’t built accessible but it works perfectly for your needs. As a carpenter, I’m becoming more and more inspired to build accessible homes from watching yours and others videos. There are so many simple things we could be doing that just make life easier. Wider doorways, no carpet, smooth transitions etc. So inspired!!

Not a vegetable in sight! 😱 I hope they're in the other side of the fridge! Gotta have those good good veggies

No creo que puedas entender esto, pero te cuento que mi hermana menor, de 28 años, tuvo un accidente automovilístico hace 10 meses y sufrió una lesión medular completa, quedando en silla de ruedas..desde hace un tiempo sos una inspiración para nosotros, sobre todo con este video.. te felicito por ser valiente y mostrarnos tu estilo de vida, gracias desde Argentina!!

I really like your channel! I am not disabled, but I have always been curious about what it’s like. I found your channel when I was about to have ankle surgery and was researching the best type of crutches to use. Thanks for sharing!

[SnuggleBear]

Hi. I just wanted to say thank you for starting this channel. I have learned so much from all of your videos. I myself do not use a wheelchair but a good friend of mine does. She has cerebral palsy and is in her wheelchair nearly twenty four seven except for when she goes to bed. This past year she has been inspired to stand up and advocate for herself and others. To see some one else showing others how to do things, things that can help and tips for so many thing is amazing. Thank you!

[ambivalentdisaster]

Wow! You are so much like me in many ways. I really admire your energy. I’m a p/t chair user so I am able to stand up to do things many days for short periods but I never have that kind of endurance anymore. I find being disabled very exhausting in itself and am always looking for ways to help me do things without help as much as possible. I have the Dyson vacuum, too and I love it more than most people could understand, lol. It is so light and easy for me to maneuver. Before I got it, I had to beg and plead for someone to vacuum.
The only things I can’t do are take out the trash, mop the floors, do baseboards, and scrub the bath. I am still looking for a way to get them done without relying on anyone.
You have a great place! I would do the same and turn my bedroom into my studio (art) and use the living room as a bedroom.
My favorite is “Do what matters, ” and your happiness equation because they both relate to my frame of mind at some point every day.
Thank you for your video. New Subscriber!

[bekkerbotha]

This might be rude of me but I'm a fully capable person and I found your chanel and watch your videos because I love to help people and you show me how I will be able to assist some one who is in a wheelchair.

[cjdsaved]

Yep, my expectations hold me back every time. Thank you for sharing your experience

[shanelSS]

I don’t know why this is curious to people. I’m disabled but I’ve lived alone since I was 17. I enjoyed your tips especially the one about having less makes everything easier for cleanup and I agree. I subbed now because you are amazing! 💙

[Reluctantly_Adulting]

Thank you for sharing your life with us random strangers. Your positive outlook and can-do attitude are so uplifting and inspiring!

Smartest accesable apartment I've ever seen, I remember when my son got to about 4yrs and had to go in a proper wheelchair v a disabled buggy for toddlers/young kids and I really didn't want one that looked really disabled and bulky and old fashioned basically. That may sound bad but I was a young mother who was at the time struggling with the fact my son wouldn't ever have a normal life he is mentally impaired aswell as the physical side and I used to really struggle with it. Its nice to see you can still have a beautiful looking home that works for you practically aswell and things dont have to look a certain way also I have never watched you before but you seem really cool Ive subbed anyway 😍

[xgames]

Damn. Your truely inspiring man. Also I can’t believe you only have 30k! Like you deserve so much more. Keep up the work, I recently started watching me, I am not disabled in a wheel chair but it’s still inspiring content it must be hard having to use a wheel chair to not get around at some points and at some points having to relay on your wheel chair. But really keep up the work. I can see you growing insanely big, also I’ve noticed your channel is picking up traction. Keep it up man, I’m sure you read these comments and I hope this motivates you.

That's a huge-ass apartment you have there, Sir - and a balcony! It's at least twice the size of my one-bed. I wouldn't trust living in a high-rise because of the risk of fire, or the elevator breaking down. I already have a wetroom, and I use a shower wheelchair my Aunt got through a Polio charity she volunteers with. I'm waiting to have my kitchen adapted through a Disabled Facilities Grant from my local council. Mine is tiny, and I'm having trouble reaching stuff from my wheelchair. I shudder to think how much a luxury place like that costs in rent. 😱

Finally!! A video I can get better ideas for my apartment from! Thanks!!
