Take on the winter lolo

I was passing by a on my way to chemistry class and was early because I take the buss and a professor for the physical therapy program saw me and excitedly brought me before her class. They had a project where students were to spend 24hours in a wheelchair and write about the experience. I ended up showing them transfers from different places and explaining I can move my legs and how not everyone who’s in a wheelchair is fully paralyzed etc. and about my day to day challenges... what I do with hills, if there is no off or on ramp to sidewalk curves what public transit is like from a chair. I was there for about 1/2 an hour Before I went to class. (Bus came once an hour so I was either 40 mins early or 40 mins late) The prof explained her intentions and politely asked if I was willing to help I said yes because I’m passionate about awareness like gen is!!

Once I needed my wheelchair on a regular bases I asked my husband to reorganize our house and to help him and our daughters understand why it was necessary I asked them all 3 to try navigating the house in a spare wheelchair we have(it was a family members). They all three crashed into the walls and door frames and had a heck of a time getting in and out of the bathrooms. But each of them were good sports to give it a try.

Veda, I had to get help changing my flat, to make more space, when I needed a wheelchair. Sadly, that meant I had no space for my hobby; but I donated a lot which hopefully made others happy. I now have a new hobby.

When I first got my wheelchair my husband sat in it and went out the front yard to the car. He fell over backwards trying to push on the grass and it made him much more understanding as to why I need help being pushed. I think without trying to get about on wheelchair people are just oblivious to the struggles. Thanks for showing people that!

Lol I forget just how agile I am in my wheelchair until someone wants to try the chair and tries to do things that are second nature to me but rocket science to someone who isn’t in a chair. Lol

More family members of people with disabilities should do this. Great effort on your husband's part.

Good on you Shauno! I wish people would actually spend a day strapped into a wheelchair as I hope it would give them some appreciation of how knackering getting around in a wheelchair really is. So much kudos to you Shauno! You’re a legend 🤗🤗 I hope he didn’t end up too battered and bruised 🤗🤗 Had the biggest giggle when he tried to hoover in the wheelchair, it’s a full on workout to do 🥵 PS Shauno you should definitely try changing the bedding whilst balancing on one leg (amputee style🥵🤕) Fantastic post Gem 🤗🥰🤗 hope you all enjoy a kofi 😉🥰

I think the next challenge for shaun should be to pull up a metre or so of the paving at the front door, spread an inch or two of sand under it and re-lay it to eliminate the low (2"?) step into the porch. Maybe I'm just a 'surely there must be an easier way' kind of guy, but that seems like an easy fix to an unnecessary obstacle.

If he gets you a cordless vacuum for Christmas, you know what you can do with it! Imagine if you took the bin out like that, bin juice all over you.

I am glad at least he tried the challenge. I have suggest this to my family members a few might do it but when they try they will try for a few mins and when it gets frustrating really quick to them. They will get out of the wheelchair and say. "Wow, i don't see how you do that." And then after that its conversation over lol Some people just don't realize how hard it is to do somethings while your in a wheelchair etc

My mum did something similar to this once and I remember we were driving and I said “this hill is going to be difficult in the wheelchair” and she was like “it’s not a hill” and in my head I thinking ‘oh you’ll see’. The whole experience was very funny😂 Love this video!

I’m so surprised that the front walk wasn’t after the last challenge! Sean really needs to make it better!

Loved this. So much fun to see!

Great new video Gem! Love the way you're smiling when you say "time for another challenge" . Keep up the hard work 💪💪😁👍👍❤️!

What a great sport! Love the two of you! I love it when you flip the script!

Love this video, thankyou both ❤

I think Shaun's next challenge should be to try and improve your front door access? I know you have some sort of mini ramp but the fact Shaun fell on exiting shows it can be improved?

Loved this video as always , Gem. Well done to you both. Bindi did her job just being cute.

I would challenge them to enjoy the church service in a wheelchair and possibly go grocery shopping in one. I mostly use my cane, but with the church building being large, I use a wheelchair to keep my pain level down and my heart rate down to a stable beat and my energy level up.

Big Shaun, master of legs and wheels! Love it!

You guys are the best couple 🤣🥰 I love your sense of humor!! Always, is it considered evil laughed the entire time?

I always get antitippers added to my wheelchairs to avoid tipping backwards. I tried a sport chair once and fell backwards got quite the bump on my head and broke my collarbone. Sport chair didn’t have anti tipping wheels.

Yep I can agree with shaun and everyone else camber on the paths are a pain, changing the bed is no problem for me though.

Ouch when he falls out at the front door, i felt that.

Outstanding video!

I so feel that with the door when I am wheeling myself in my wheelchair!!

They just don't know until they know, unfortunately. My bf and kids are absolutely clueless nor do they try to even understand. I'm so happy you have a husband willing to do this!! It's so refreshing!

If the wheelchair had better wheels and casters, that lawn would not be so bad to get across. For steep ramps, go up backwards

I hoover my room, as I have to, but it wouldn’t be practical for the whole house. Ours is a typical hoover, with a coward and the handle separate to the part that collects the rubbish. We do also have a small cordless handheld hoover which I use for my room too, although it’s tiny so wouldn’t be able to hoover everywhere !

Such a good idea! My daughter has a lot of assistive equipment because of her condition. I wonder what my other kids would think if they used some of it 😂

That was a great video

I have a dyson dc26 which is lightweight and not as rigid as most vacuum cleaners. I dont use the long pole and just attach the head to the handle so its short enough that i dont need to reach up to get to the handle. Having said that theres a lot of cleaning i cant do (high shelves mostly) so i just employ a cleaner. But i can vacuum if needed.

When you got to the vacuum it reminded me of tools. Especially since it's a husband challenge. Now my father wasn't disabled but by the time he hit age 90 he had converted most of his power tools to light weight electric Makita battery powered ones. I highly recommend them for those who have a hard time with upper body strength you can get more work done before tiring out. A lot of the newer vacuums have gotten lighter weight too. Maybe a handy man challenge for another video?

This was great. Don't your council do the thing called assisted bin lift where if you phone and tell them you're not able to take your bin out, the bin men come and do it for you every week? xx

@mydogeatspuke

Жыл бұрын

Very late reply, but generally assisted bin collections (and other services for those with disabilities) are only usually offered if there is no able bodied person available to do it for you. Some councils will specify that you must live alone, but others will expect you to ask a neighbour, carer, friend or family member for help rather than offer a service themselves. My bin men absolutely love leaving the bins in the middle of the garden instead of where they found them like they're supposed to, won't empty them at all if they're half full, and never close the gate behind them, so it's not exactly ideal even when you do get help from them.

Was he sore for a while after doing all this? That fall back that he took kind of triggered me. 😱 lol. I can’t believe he did all that without bike gloves. I think my hands have gotten more sensitive as I’ve aged, It really messes up my hands if I don’t use bike gloves.

That bin system would NOT work for me and my OCD. Omg.

I cant physically push myself on grass because of the cerebral palsy I have I have slight arm weakness and my left side is slightly weaker then my right but its only noticeable in certain activities I do or when I'm having a bad day. but there is no way I can push myself on grass or even when the pavement has a slight ramp slight to it, I prefer to push myself road as well. However, when I push myself on the road I'm scared in case I get knocked over by a car.

I love these challenge videos there great to watch I've been wanting my boyfriend to try things to see how it's like doing things with my disabilities,but I don't know where to start with him though because you see it's taller and heavier then me,so he can't fit any of the devices that I've gotta use though to help me get around safely since not only do I've got cerebral palsy,but I'm legally blind too,so with that said I use a coupleto a few different things at the same time for mobility.

Just Wondering!...Why done't DB, Do Wheelchair Challenges?

Shaun is now battle fatigue and poor Shaun gets the Purple Heart for the many injuries taking during battle! Shaun is a hero to someone who could that be let me think!

Poor Shaun. lol

I Hoover (vacuum) our house every week (we have 4 dogs). I use a Shop Vac for the hard floors and a Shark Navigator Deluxe upright vacuum on the carpet in the living room. It’s a lot easier now than when I first started doing it as you have to figure out what works and doesn’t work for your abilities. I don’t even attempt changing the bed sheets. Of the challenges Shaun did I would find going across the grass field the most challenging. I have tendinosis and impingements in both shoulders, so I use a SmartDrive. But, the SmartDrive doesn’t work in the grass.

How empty was that bin.... I mean really full. Lol

Just incase its not obvious Sean being a physically fit person normally means he could do things like hovering. A wheelchair user may not be able to do it or if they do then that is all of the energy they have gone. Its fantastic that he's giving it ago and finding cool work arounds but it dose not mean that x person who is disabled could do it if they just had willpower because Sean can.

My electric wheelchair tyres pulled up and ruined the carpets so all except one room now is vinyl flooring, and that one room will soon be done. I have a Shark cordless vacuum which broke after 7 months, so after I have had the last carpet changed will be buying a new cordless vacuum. I could not manage a corded hoover because I would get tangled in the cords.

I love vacuuming in a wheelchair, the trick is cordless, but most cordless vacuums aren't good. You have to shell out for the Dyson! My husband won't get in my chair!
