- YEP THATS RIGHT WE ARE BACK FOR ANOTHER WHEELCHAIR CHALLENGE!!! YOU GUYLS LOVED HUSBAND SHOPS IN WIFES WHEELCHAIR, AND WANTED TO SEE MORE. SO THIS TIME I SET SHAUN SOME OF HIS EVERYDAY HOUSE HOLD CHORSE TO DO IN MY WHEELCHAIR.
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.

@@JustWheelMe OMG!!!! Hahahaha
I think either cooking or grocery shopping lol
Put the dishes away from the dishwasher, collecting the dog poop from the yard
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!!
amazing
there should be way more assignments like this in school!!! it would teach empathy!
How was the experience for them ? Did you get any feedback ? I'm interested now 😁
@@alyssia7239 I don’t know I didn’t follow up. She just kinda grabbed (asked politely out of the blue) me !
@@SohiTheTinyKittenHuman tiny kittens are easy to grab lol. It's how I got my kitty. 😄
I love how you have him do shit in a chair you don't even do, lol. Definitely made me appreciate/remember why I'm a power chair user.
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!
Jeeze I was afraid Shaun would end up in a wheelchair when he kept falling on his back. Newfound respect for wheelchair users!
My husband wouldn't even try any of that. Kudos to your husband. I'm nervous and excited because tomorrow I go from a manual wheelchair to an electric one I'll still keep the manual as backup . Hope my driving will be up to scratch lol
Oh good luck. Once I got my batec, I wouldn’t be with out it.
I had to get a manual wheelchair last December. Increasing problems with my hands/arms means someone is coming to assess my electric wheelchair needs today ( after my IVIG). Bon courage ! You're not alone.
Go for the electric one. It will be do worth it. As long as you can keep its speed under control and not feel obliged to zoom more than you want to.
Hehe I died laughing when you told him to hurry up at the crossing 😂😂
More family members of people with disabilities should do this. Great effort on your husband's part.
Will not lie I did laugh at this wish more people would try everyday stuff in a wheelchair to now the struggle
I love how excited Shaun was when he got the bin out successfully! ❤
Your poor husband he had some difficult challenges nailed the bins WELL DONE Shaun x
Gem recommend a handheld cordless Dyson with attachments
Ahh that dyson sounds fab. Thanks
Yes! Cordless, handheld vacuums have been a blessing for me!
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 😉🥰
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
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.
Loved the video. I hope he is ok from tipping backwards. I wish I could have my whole family do this. Several of them constantly comment to me well you have wheels can’t be to hard!! Watching your husband talk about the sidewalks and how they slant and are uneven that is something I have been trying to explain to my parents for the longest time but they just don’t get it!
Same here. Also, my legs do “work” in a sense that I have feeling and can stand for a TINY amount of time. Yet my family doesn’t understand that I can’t just “get up and walk” with my wheelchair when crossing the road, going up a curb, etc.
My mother does this. Seems to think if I just had more muscle, and was less fat, everything would be fine.
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
I’m so surprised that the front walk wasn’t after the last challenge! Sean really needs to make it better!
You should send him grocery shopping in a wheelchair.
Waking this morning about to make my green tea! Love you guys!! When he fell over I was like oh oh oh no there he goes lol! I think he should do a dance class in a wheelchair and adapt the movement lol
Gen this was a great blog. I’m sorry Shawn you had me cracking up so bad. I give it to you you did a great job way to go. I’m a fairly new spinal cord injury it was a year on the 15 of this month. I’m a C1-3 complete injury. Gen I love your vlogs thanks so much for doing them.
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.
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?
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 want you to take a shower every day so you can play with your body down that Al the time you are in the shower
Do you have a massage toy for your body down that you can use down now
Keep the massage toy down that for 2 hour at a time
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
Fabulous fun and reality as it is for some ..Sean is a laugh You are a terrific pair 👍
What a great sport! Love the two of you! I love it when you flip the script!
Great new video Gem! Love the way you're smiling when you say "time for another challenge" . Keep up the hard work 💪💪😁👍👍❤️!
Loved this. So much fun to see!
Love this video, thankyou both ❤
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?
Loved this video as always , Gem. Well done to you both. Bindi did her job just being cute.
I so feel that with the door when I am wheeling myself in my wheelchair!!
Ouch when he falls out at the front door, i felt that.
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.
Well done Shaun. Now Gem, I always thought of you as a kind hearted helpful sort of person. However, I can't help feeling that you take a bit of sadistic pleasure when Shaun is struggling in the chair!
Outstanding video!
Excellent experience for your husband!!
👏👏👏👏👏well done guys 💕
Loved the vid as ever guys! Poor Shaun, I really did feel for him - those pavement cambers are a real bind! I've moved to a little robot vacuum now, and it's an absolute blessing - cost £100, and works a treat!
Hi Tim! Yes I saw your robot vacuum, very cool. We filmed some of this before I had the batec, otherwise I would have followed him accross the grass! 😂😂 bloody god send is the bike!!!
You guys are great
Way to ! go Sean
That was a great video
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 !
That’s what I need a little hand vac
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.
I took mine off because they get in the way if u go up or down single steps a lot
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 😂
learnin empathy! 💪🏽
I get my custom wheelchair on November 30th! I'm so excited. It's really going to give me my freedom back. I have a heart condition as well as EDS so walking and standing for long periods of time is very difficult. Can't wait!
Peyton, hope you are having an enjoyable time with your wheelchair :-)
@@flowerpetals1396 it’s amazing!
@@Peys_Projects Wonderful to know :-) :-)
Sean way to go giving it a Crack great job nice video Gem have a day love from TEXAS
I noticed he struggled with the door. I ended up buying resistance bands and tying them to the door handles on they major doors I use everyday. . Just grab them and pull doors shut. Doesnt look very appealing, but its a great time saver.
Proper cringed for Sean when he fell on his back I had sympathy pain in my back lol
I know!! When I was editing it, I cringed every time
He was fine btw 😉🙏🏼
Aw good I'm glad he's ok, I feel down a whole flight if stairs about 8 years ago and it was the 1st step where I cracked my lower back bum area that hurt the most I thought I was going to throw up 🤦♀️
@@JustWheelMe OMG that does sound painful!! 💗😬
I wonder if putting a metal handle vertically on the door near the hinge side would help with the struggle of closing the doors. I saw another RUclipsr do that on their outside doors.
Yes Im going to look into that. thanks
Nailed the bins xx
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
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.
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?
Grate suggstions!! thank you
I get Henry hoover and mackle the end to the footplate and he follows me round
It’s so true about the camber on pavements, I can go round the whole of my village just using one arm, by the end it’s on fire!
The struggle is real lol
reason i got my powerchair. makes life much easier to get around and less tiring...
A brilliant video, I think he did very well,duvets are bad enough when you're able bodied.I've quite recently started using a manual wheelchair and I knew it would be hard but it's even worse than I thought, REALLY HARD!!! I hate trying to get up steep dropped kerbs and off camber pavements,(which most of them are) is so hard,not to mention HILLS,lol.Keep.up the great work.
Ahhh it is hard!! If you are new, I have some wheelchair master classes which could help. 😊
@@Wheelsnoheels Thank you, I have been following for a good few months now and your films are really a tremendous help,and very entertaining too,thank you for being there for us all, you really are inspirational.
Should look at buying some threshold ramp for your front door. Or a temporary removabl ramp
A cordless hand vacuum would be perfect!
my bin men just do the bin for me as its 2 m from the road lol. that field trip he took was a big ask for a noobie so he did well. i only just got a cordless beginning of this year and i should of done it when they first came out but didnt as im tight
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.
I confess I don't use a chair indoors and I still don't do the hoovering. Well I can when I'm really confident and it's early but I could count on one hand how many times I've done it in years.
BINDI!!!!!!!😍😍 She is a beautifull girl😍😍 im a boxerlover😁 i have a white boxergirl named Pip.
I do hoover from my wheelchair and yes i use a cordsell one(i would die dealing with a cord) i live by myself and i do most things myself. There are some things i used dont get the hang of like how do i clean my windows or making my bed😓Lucky me i have a cleaninglady that comes ones a week to help with the things i struggle with.
And i can always call my parents and brother.
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.
Shaun is very fit and strong. And determined. I think His hands were fine. But it was tired!!
Hi Gem. Another great video. I actually feel like I’m watching a comedy sitcom. This would make great TV. Shaun is such a good sport. Your daughter is adorable. Her laugh is contagious. Have a wonderful day. 🎃💀👻
So glad you enjoyed it x
Take a shower 🚿 and play with your body down that then I will tell you what to do to your body down
Sorry
GOD I relate to trying to use a Dyson vacuum - and a vacuum in general - so painfully. It's a bitch.
Wow, so funny 🤣🤣🤣
I need to get my family to try living in my chair 😂
Can you please do some more like this
Just Wondering!...Why done't DB, Do Wheelchair Challenges?
That bin system would NOT work for me and my OCD. Omg.
Hopefully no lasting injuries
How empty was that bin.... I mean really full. Lol
Best person for fighting ablism. 💕
Channel needs more 'Bindi cam'
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!
What really would be cruel is to let him use a standard passive wheelchair instead of the active one...
(evil laugh) heheheh
Where are the tip guards for his wheelchair?
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.
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.
Poor Shaun. lol
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!
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.
Yeah just watching Shaun made me ache. I’m lucky I have my batec now, other wise I would have filmed him on the grass
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 look forward to the day I get a second chair and make everyone around me do this 😈
The hoovering one might actually be posible if you sit on a normal chair or so while you watch them fail. Just make sure you don't laugh too laudly untill you have your chair back..
My wife left me and took my chair once... of course I went crawling back... haha just kidding she maybe wouldn't do that lol
Evevs moring rotetn
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.
Hi. I'm SUPER nervous. I'm going to the doctor and if they say I need a wheelchair it definitely will be a big help but also kinda nerve-racking.
Yes, try to only use when it really need.
Did Sean borrowed this wheelchair?
It’s my other wheelchair. 😊 it’s my rigid one which I attach to my Batec now
I didn't know wheelchairs can tip fully back like that, & it looked so easy to happen! That's terrifying!
😂😂🤣🤣
I think Shaun and minds should of had the batec for the running challenge 😂
Which city is this
Your dog was probably surprised that Shawn was the one in the chair
wait so if gen has never done the bins or hooveriing isnt it only fair she give sit a go instead of just picking on shaun?
She may not be physically capable of doing those
@@alexschwartz7967 fair point im just saying she should at least try
well its not his permanent situation, so picking on him is not too serious and probably wouldnt hurt him deeply
I reckon everyone should have to navigate school for a week in a wheelchair. A proper “walk” a mile…wheel a mile?
A friend of mine at school was in a wheelchair but i was a naive kid and never thought about things like transfers and stuff. Sometimes though she’d get out and we’d do wheelies. She was super strong from pushing and I’d get tired in like 3 minutes.
One could make an attachment to slot onto the top of the bin and then a curved bit to sit around the waist to keep it square when pushing. I think robot vacuums would be super useful. Tech in general would be useful too wouldn’t it?
