Here is what Dan had to say about it: “Things can be frustrating when they are beyond your control! Things like this can really suck. I just wanted to share how frustrating some of these challenges are and just how a simple situation can turn complicated. When you use a wheelchair, there are only a few places you can get parts. Getting those parts at times is very frustrating and can take weeks and usually months. Anyways, this little mishap at least happened while I was at home and not in the middle of nowhere with nothing to work with. That is when things like that usually seem to happen. Lol”
You guys have me cracking up! I was like, "Yay! A video without those tacos lol" because they look sooooo good!! We even tried a place and well not the best🤢! However you guys with the jets..airplanes and hilarious bantering made me laugh! Sorry you have this happen when everything else is!! And.poor Andrea, the plane leaves then the phone rings and air goes on..😂😂😂 but then enters cutest kiddo ever!! Way to keep positive! Much ❤!! Happy first day of school!!
Fellow Dan here with a recent SCI/wheelchair user. Also in Utah... I started following you as I've been looking for tips. Thanks for putting these challenges out here, they are real! When I first got home I blew out 3 tubes in 1 week. My favorite tool was a portable electric air pump.
Dan, I know that the wheelchair malfunction was beyond challenging, however God used it to help me find the wheelchair that I need. As an aging 24yr crutch dependent AKA, I have been phasing into needing to use a wheelchair more & more and after a semi-disastrous trip in early July I realized that I needed something more portable than my monster permimobil that I use part time at home. Now to figure out how to pay for it 🙄🫣😅 Thank you for sharing not just the good bits and for being you and for allowing God to partner with you even when you don’t realize that you are 🤗❣️
Inside jokes are the best way to embarrass people. Great opportunities to help those like you. You're so handy start a small business refribing wheel chair part.
I miss your live chat! But as always my love and prayers are with you all! I couldn't walk on july 3. So im in rehab, getting stronger with lots of therapy and prayers❤
GM to you guys...im all up in my feelings right here..im telling my mom about you all for the first time and she ...we... are just in tears together for two reasons..because my mom said the same thing I did when I first met you.

FROM YOUR CONDITION..SITUATION..AND THE WAY YOU TOOK CONTROL AFTER THE FACT..WELL MY MOM JUST SAW WHAT I SAW AND SHE IS IN AWE! SHE SAID WITH TEARS IN HER EYES.. "JUST LIKE YOUR DAD SHANTEL"!! AND SHE IS JUST BALLING HER EYES OUT. SHE KNOWS THE PAIN AND STUGGLES FOR BOTH YOU AND YOUR WIFE.BUT SHE ALSO KNOWS THERE ARE REWARDS..LIKE YOUR LAUGHTER.. GOD BLESS. YOULL PROBLY HAVE A NEW FOLLOWER..lol BE WAITING ON Earline Ransonet to join in..
Thank You For Never Giving Up, I Am Praying For Complete Healing Jovah Rapha Means My Healer I Asked That God's Blessings Is Upon You And Your Families God Is The Same Yesterday Today And Forever In Jesus Mighty Name Amen 💖🙏💖
These issues can quickly turn from "uh oh" to "out of commission "! Both of you keep such amazing attitudes and positive outlooks that it just blows me away!! I cannot imagine what either of you would do without the other and without God!! We all forget how blessed we are sometimes and focus on the things we cannot change! When we step back, pray, be kind and look for the positives, life changes! That's when we begin to learn to "Punch Today In The Face"... from there, it's one TODAY at a time!

I'm glad you two were home also when this happened. I was out grocery shopping when the large wheel came off my wheelchair. No injuries. I understand your frustration Dan. Do you have a non custom backup wheelchair you can use while you wait for parts? They can start at $35.00 and up. I pray the best outcome for you both. 🙏
Hi, Andrea and Dan. I thought I had a rough day.. you win. But you're even having a little laugh in-between while you just want to go to sleep. So here's a stupid question. Just like your vehicles have spare tires . Can you order the right kind of tire for your chair. For the just in case. Since it was so hard to get. I just hate you having to go through, especially before you go, to sleep. Hope things work out. For all of us. ❤❤❤❤❤❤💞😭💔
Wouldn’t it be advantageous to order spare parts and extra wheel do to ordering delays. This would allow you to always have what is necessary. I use to travel by car before day of phones, Amazon, GPS etc. Always had two spare tires ( not little temporary ones ) belts, electric tape, survival kit etc etc.

Yes Lord, In the name of Jesus a complete healing for Dan. I thank you in advance. God bless your family
Have you tried the Schwalbe marathon plus tires? Not the cheapest option but I haven't had a flat tire in the almost 2 years I've been using them.

Are there any bike shops that could fix the wheel so you don't have to mess with it?
Dan, I missed your surgery. I hope it went well. What was it for if I may ask?
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
lol Dan look out when you’re in trouble and they don’t wanna hear you. She’ll shut it off lol

I put the slim tubes in and rarely have flats I got. Mountain bike tires on my chair I'm from washington flat tires suck to roll on
Thats one reason i use foam tires. No way i could use tube tires. Time to change ?
Dan is Hot you’re lucky to have him ❤
You can do
💪💪💪❤️💪💪💪💪
