- MY WHEELCHAIR VLOG, SHOWING YOU HOW I DO MY HOUSEHOLD CHORSE. COME AND FOLLOW ME AROUND AND YOU WILL SEE HOW I DO MY LAUNDRY AND CLEAN MY KITCHEN. LOADING THE DISHWASER.
Im so happy that I am vlogging. I really enjoy it and I hope you do it. I feel its really natural and you can get a true sense of what my wheelchair life is like. I thought you could follow me around and see my do some of my day to day tasks. I don’t do all of these in one day. The take up too much energy. I can’t do all these things all the time, so my husband helps out a lot, I like to do what I can when I can.
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.

Just a little mid-week vlog motivation.
I hope your all well. Don't forget to stay subscribed. We have more of my wheelchair master classes coming up this Sunday. 🤗
I really wish that you could talk to my roommate they aren't in a wheelchair but they use their disability as an excuse not to the house hold chores I don't mean to offend you I just trying to make a point and my point is that you don't let your disability stop you from taking care of what needs to be done and that's awesome. My roommate is just plain lazy it's pure laziness not her disability.
Love your videos! I'm a nurse and I've been going through a lot of your channel and watching your videos so that I can get a better idea of what my patients who are currently wheelchair users may deal with as well as tips and encouragement I can give to people who are newly disabled.
It’s actually insane that now that I cannot do any of the household chores, that I actually miss them! It took me so long to actually get used to letting my hubby do things the way he wants to do them. It started off that I couldn’t cope with him having a different way of doing jobs and as far as I was concerned, they were not done right. I’ve finally got over it and let him do it his way, without complaint, but it’s hard to drop the perfectionism of your own ways.
Awww I bet. I know what you mean. When I get bad days it really gets to me too. Its really interesting your comment, about letting go, and accepting that someone else does it differently, or has different standards. Its actually speaking volumes to me about people I knew with chronic illnesses and how they would have unnecessary arguments.!!!! WOW I feel a video coming on. Thank you for this. I think it will resinate with a lot of people. xx
Yes!
thanks for sharing this. trying to teach my teen in a wheelchair to do more chores. THANK YOU!
This is helpful just broke my femur last week in car accident so I'll spend most of my time in a wheelchair for while so watching these while I'm in hospital
!!!!!!!!!! I am so so so so excited to have found you!!! I have a cane and I swear that's a struggle in and of itself! YOU NEVER see disabled folk doing the chores, These abled folk acting like it's so easy to do a million things. Gosh you're so beautiful and lovely to listen to as well!! Thank you so so so so much. My condition is degenerative so the chair is definitely happen and it makes me so so so very happy to know I won't be alone.
AND YOU HAVE A BOXER A REALLY LAZY BOXER SO DO I!!!!
I've been struggling to cope with my household chores, as well as showering and washing my hair....and finding the energy to eat inbetween… but this vlog made me so happy and I realise I wasn't taking enough breaks to conserve the precious spoons, so thank you! I live alone in a place where there are no pets allowed, which makes me very sad I have to admit. Keep on smiling lovely xxx
(From my friend)
Hey, I just wanted to say thank you for the video. I am blind and have cerebral palsy. So I used your video to know how to do this dishes in my wheelchair, and I also paid attention to how you did your laundry. I can't do that, my roommate (me, account owner) and I's laundry room is in a sort of basement room that has a 6" drop. But I can help her with the dishes. I clean them in the bathroom sink using your sideways trick. So thanks a lot for your video. It really helped. And I hope you and your husband take care.
Hello Gem, came across your channel while browsing for how disabled people cope with household chores, as I am one of them, I have a brain and spinal cord injury and I am really struggling at the moment because I can’t do what I want to, you would think after 35 years I would be used to it but I still get very frustrated with myself. I am so glad I’ve found you channel, you have a lovely personality and had me smiling at the end of your video. Zero spoons at the min so I shall be binge watching all your videos. Sending hugs Sarah xx
I enjoy seeing how other wheelchair users do things. I’d love to see more cooking videos if you wanted to do more of those.
Thank you I'll see what I can do. xx
I enjoy this too! I'm just uploading another wheelchair transferring video, I'd love you to check it out! X
I love Jack Will sweatshirt. I understand needing a lot of time to read and do my work. I’m learning how to be patient
I just found your blog. You're so cute! I have a crippling progressive peripheral nerve disorder that causes nerve damage and muscle loss. I can walk a little bit with my walker but mostly use my power wheelchair since I have done further damage to my knee.
I can do the dishes, cooking and laundry. I told it from the dryer right into the basket and carry the basket into my room.
Vacuuming has been the major problem for me. My housemate agreed but absolutely hates it and leaves it for a month. I bought a robot vacuum but I need help keeping it emptied because of my allergies and it needs to be done outside. It's good in a pinch but really isn't enough for every time.
Cannot put anything clean the floor because it is dirty. I can't get down on or up off the floor either. Oh well, I focus on what I can do.
Hope you continue having a Happy life!
Oh I am so loving the new camera 🎥. Your personality is charismatic and addictive, and the clarity and atmosphere the camera is capturing is pure eye candy. The content is entertaining. A real joy to watch.
awwww thank you so much. That makes me so happy to hear. xx
Thank you! My situation seems more doable and I thought I had an imagination. Rock on friend!🙏🏻
Yay! Looking forward to a house tour, because 1. I'm nosy, and love seeing other peoples' houses, and 2. I'm in the US, and am fascinated with homes in other countries :) :) What may seem like boring chores to you is really interesting to me! (see number 1 above....I'm SO nosy). Bahahaha, love your dog on the trampoline! Pets are the best :)
hahaha im nosy too and LOVE a good house tour . xxx
My mum made me mop and she came home realised my wheelchair made marks when i mopped and laughed
It’s be good to see an updated video of this with you using your new kitchen.
I was also curious how you get up and down stairs without a lift. I can wait for the house tour though! Really looking forward to that. I appreciate your content so much! I'm making the transition into being an ambulatory wheelchair user now, and your videos help me feel a lot more confident!
Hey Hey!!! Awww I'm so pleased that my videos are helping you. xx
I watched almost the entire video before I realized that the title had the words kitchen and laundry. 🤦🏼♀️😂
I was hoping to find tips on bathrooms and floors. So far, other people are doing it for me but I’d really like to not have to ask and to just take care of it. I will look for a video.
I do like that you take your breaks and it’s ok. That was hard for me because I liked to get everything done at once. Now, some things take all day because of breaks but at least most of it gets done eventually 😁
It’s definitely most important to listen to your body and it is a hard lesson for stubborn people like me.
Thanks for your videos.
Ahh noooo! sorry it wasn't quite what you were looking for. Im hoping to do more house hold chorse, and bathrooms is defo one of them. So keep and eye out . xx
Wheelsnoheels - Gem Hubbard
I always get something positive from your videos, no matter what.
I really like your hamper! I also throw laundry down stairs but I never thought of using a laundry bag. Luckily, this apartment is one level inside but it’s on the second floor. Sometimes, I’m stuck inside for a couple weeks before I can get out. We are looking for something on the parking level, though.
Honestly, I’m not really sure what I’m looking for. Bathtubs and mopping are entirely too physical for me. (They always require a few more spoons than I wake up with 😉) I do manage the vacuum well with a Dyson cordless, providing I don’t have to move anything. It’s very light and easy to do. The mopping is not happening, neither is the shower. I use my teenage son but he will be graduating next spring so I’m hoping to be in a better position by then. 🤞🏼🤞🏼
Anyway, love your personality, as well! I’m a happy subscriber!
I loved watching you do your household chores! I sit on the floor or my bed to do my laundry too as it's sooooo much easier! Do you do things like vacuuming or does Shaun do those types of things? I really like these new videos that you've been creating x
Ah thanks so much lily. Yes Shaun is amazing. He does all the floors and a lot of the chorse. (As we all know the spoon theory) So sometimes he has to do it all. But i help as much as I can when I can. There is no way i could vacuum or mop the floor!!! Can u?
Wheelsnoheels - Gem Hubbard all the floor in our flat is lino so has be swept and mopped, and even though it's a tiny flat I can usually only manage 1 of them, so my partner has to do the other. Thankfully I do the cooking most nights and he can clean and wash up and he takes on all the jobs when I can't. Its nice getting an insight into other people's lives like this!
Thank you for sharing! I am concerned about doing this in the future as my disease progresses.
My kitchen is TINY but thankfully my powerchair fits, as a manual wouldn't due to the wheels. I had to move out as quickly as possible due to violence so I couldn't wait the 2 odd years for wheelchair accessible category A! lol Downside is this house disqualifies me from powerchair on NHS so I get to continue to fund my two powerchairs all by myself. 😂 I hate doing laundry. lol Glad I got a tumble dryer though as hanging it up to dry was pretty much impossible for me. lol
It makes me so cross that because you are not in category A housing you need to fun your chair!!! Gggrgrgr the system and its stupid loop holes!!! honestly you would think they could use some common sense!!! xx
Hey Gem, this video actually came at the perfect time for me, as I stopped using a bi-weekly house keeper and it's nice to see someone else like me(!) and your technique! I also have a dishwasher and sink set up etc.. amoung other similarities, so it's quite helpful!!! Thanks for making the vid! -Andy
I am disabled married lovely kids but feel very lonely sometimes my friends didn’t want to know me when I got cancer I do miss female company xx
Hi Gem! Do you think you could show us how you do things like sweep and mop the floors or vacuum the carpet? I usually find I have to wait for days when I’m out of the wheelchair for these chores, but if you have an easy or simple solution, I’d love it if you could share! Thank you!! ❤️
Awwww unfortunately this is something I can't do. Shaun does a lot of the chores that I can't do. Ill look into it and see if there is anything out there for wheelchair users. But even if there was I think it would be too labour intensive on my body and finish me off. ;)
If you have the cash there are robots for vacuuming but they still require getting chairs and stuff off the floor so not all that great if on your own. I use a Vax handheld cordless vacuum which is very lightweight and has a long tube so doesn't require bending. Totally changed my domestic world (kill me now?!). I can do the whole house fairly easily but that's me done for the day. Gem, if Shaun does it maybe don't mention this to him! He sounds like a keeper ;-)
Ah, okay! Thanks for the info!
Yeah, I couldn't afford anything more than what I already have. Thanks for the info, though! I'll keep my eyes peeled for some lighter vacuums. :)
Gem, I just did my least favorite chore ever, and that's hanging up my shirts and t-shirts, and folding sheet sets. I dislike it so much I haven't done either in about 3 months.
I put my shirts on the hangers and secure them onto the hangers with those big huge black springy paper clips. That way the shirts don't slide off the hangers. I am a bit of a clothes horse, so my closet is pretty crowded, so hanging them up can be a challenge. I used a reacher by hanging 2 hangers atbavtime on one side of the hanger on the grippy end (so the hook part of the hanger is free), and then lift the hangers with shirts up to the closet rack and hang them up. I found trying to lift more than 2 shirts at a time becomes too hard to control.
I fold my sheets by spreading them out over the bed and then grab one corner and meet it to the other corner, then go to the other side of the bed and match up the opposite corners, then repeat until I have a nice square-ish folded sheet. It's not perfect or pretty but it works for me. I store each sheet set inside one of the matching pillow cases and close up the pillow case by stacking them on shelves in my closet. They lie relatively flat this way too, and if it falls to the floor I don't have a mess of loose sheets and pillow cases that I have to pick up.
These steps are probably a little hard to understand in written form but I hope you got the gist of it at least.
How do you do these things?
Love your videos!
Ah thank you thats really helpful. Im hoping to do another vlog on these tasks up stares and ill show you. xx
I really appreciate you sharing this! I have been struggling to learn how to do things around the house again
great vlog Gem. love the new series. 💙
yay Im so glad!!!! Thanks for watching. x
I love your video
Just finished my ironing. It took 3 days to do.
You get around the house so well in the chair. The dog is gorgeous. Do you haves stair lift?
Lori Bossard i think i spy the rail for a stairlift
Hahaha she is sooooo good. I love the Booje!!! Yes I do. xxx
@@Wheelsnoheels I was wondering how the heck you went up/downstairs with laudry 😂
How do you manage cooking and doing dishes? I saw that you have cabins both under the stove and the sink. I find it hard doing it facing front because I am short and I can t see what I am doing 😂 and sideways it s not easy since you can use one hand only! Expecially while cooking I am afraid to burn myself if I can t see properly what s happening
Hello Gem, this video was so wonderful! I can use my legs for short distances so the houshold isn't much of a problem, but "the spoons" kill me and I need to rest after a very short time! Washing and sorting out the laundry is easy, sitting on the floor and making piles of: that's mine and that's my husbands' !
I am having a dishwasher as well! Best invention ever!
How about gardening? Can you take care of your flowers? As you said there is a little possibility of walking or standing left, so is it possible for you to work in your garden? I do work in my garden, maw the lawn and take care of the flowerbeds. But slowly and spoony-like!
Enjoy your weekend! love to hear from you soon. sincerely Britta
Ah its nice to hear you can look after your garden, as that can be very cathartic. :)
I dont. Im not a gardening person and never have been, but my husband loves it so its his thing. There is no way i could mow a lawn and water plants. I don't think I would know where to begin. xx
Dear Gem, but I am sure you are enjoying the nice warm evenings outside with Shawn in the beautiful garden, don't you;) have a great sunday! sincerely Britta
7:55 Have you tried the antidyslexia font OpenDyslexic3? I use it and it's wonderful for my dyslexia. I hear it doesn't work for everyone so there's different types; but it's a free one to try!
hey love I was just wondering out of curiosity how do you go up and down stairs/floors? Do you use a chair lift that you and your chair goes on? or what lol...im looking into something to get me from up stairs to down stairs and its just me and my two younger children so they can't carry my chair and the steps are to steep for some kind of ramp..so I'm just curious 💕💕💕 lots of loves:)
I have both adh and autism
So sometimes it's very hard for me to focus but I get my chores done
Are you able to hoover and mop floors? I'd love to be able to do that, I have a PA to help with housework that I'd do if I was able and my partner does a lot too. I will hopefully make some similar videos soon! X
I look forward to seeing it. No I can do the floors, its too much on my body, and physically I can't mop or hoover. :S
What I did two floors in my townhome as a single parent. I was on crutches. Good hack
I think you may have to explain or link to "spoon theory". I watched this with a colleague looking over my shoulder and had to explain the spoons reference.
Ahhhhh ok, ill put a card up to the link. Here is the video I made on the spoon theory. ruclips.net/video/yMO6NSopy5c/видео.html I hope it helps. Please feel free to share it. xxx
I hurt my low back and hips too much doing things low down. Last week going through security at the airport, I had someone helping me and instead of putting my bag on the conveyor belt and letting me fish out my electronics, they put it on the floor in front of me, ouch that hurt.
Oh no!! Yeah I can imagine that is very painful. x
I definitely don't pull my weight at home, whole body disabilities are awkward like that. I present to the outside world as a wheelchair user, I self propel and use my arms normally, it's just all the times I'm not there, I'm in bed. I don't use my wheelchair in the house at the moment, because I don't really use my house at the moment.
I love work. I could watch other people do it all day.
Does having a trampoline increase your homeowners insurance? It does in the US.
tetsubo57 No not from my experience
No I have never heard of that. You don't even have to mention it. x
never use your dishwasher to clean your kitchen knives, it will dull them down and you'll have to re-sharpen them , I use the clean as you go method when I do things in the kitchen
how do you vaccum/mop your floors and clean the bathtub/shower? since my pain has got worse I find these chores the hardest
I can't. my husband does it. x
Do you use voice-over or text-to-speech apps? I think you could find them helpful to read comments, as well as dictation software for replying.
I don't but I think I should. Could you recommend any?
Wheelsnoheels - Gem Hubbard on my MacBook Pro I came across dictation built into the system. On mine simply press the Fn Key 3 times. Hope this helps. Dictation is built in to High Sierra Os. However; if you are looking to write a book:
Dragon dictation software is top notch.
How can I do my washing with a spinal fusion? I do have cerebral palsy
DOING HOUSEHOLD CHORES IN A WHEELCHAIR/ LAUNDDRY & KITCHEN WOW💛💛💛💛👏👏👏👍👍👍👍👩🦽👩🦽👩🦽👩🦽
Hi Gemma, it's an interesting video. I have a question: Since you're dyslexic, do you find some fonts or types of letters (like all caps or something) easier to read? You could maybe do a video about that or answer it in a Q&A. Thank you. :)
Hi there, I blow everything up really big on my lap top screen, and a pink background is easier to see. (very light link.) xx
@@Wheelsnoheels Thank you. :)
How do you get up and down the stairs.
All will be reviled in my house tour. ;)
How do you get upstairs?? I live in a split level, and haven’t been upstairs in years!!! Lol!!
All will be reviled in my house tour. (can you wait? or do you want to know now ;))
Wheelsnoheels - Gem Hubbard lol, I’m assuming you have an elevator or chair lift? But I didn’t see one when you threw the laundry down the stairs!! I drag myself up on my butt, lol, when I do have have to use stairs!!! Like I’ve told you before, I’m an amputee but have severe neuropathy in my remaining leg so I don’t use prosthetic very often!! I’m Usually in a chair, Only when I leave the house or drive do I use a prosthetic!! Never had a good fit though! i still have to use hand controls as I lost my right leg!!
The phone you have you may be able to use either voiceover or talk back and have it read you your comments and have it tell you what you’re saying but will you know one what is said to you and to what you are saying to the person
thank you. I use siri to spell some words. Ill look into something to help me. x
How can I push myself iin my wheelchair using one hand
How do you get upstairs?
House tour will be coming up soon. And all will be revealed. xx
Rachel Thomas I'm just uploading my stair lift transfer video if that's any interest to you! I'm looking forward to Gem's house tour! I'll be doing mine soon too x
Hi
So great!
Following so I can teach Dusty-Mae life skills in her wheelchair. This is my channel for her if you’re interested.
Lovely kitchen too btw.
Nothing to do with the vid but are you ever planning to have a not child? X
Sorry whats a "not child?" xx
Wheelsnoheels - Gem Hubbard sorry ment nother child
Wish you could talk to my roommate they use their disability as an excuse not do any chores they are lazy plain lazy
Hello I sure need to show two of my lazy house who always claim that they aren't able to chores because on my hip hurts or It's raining outside so I can't do my chores yes they actually used that excuse yet when the bus comes to pick them up for their program they run to bus with their cane in the air they run to the dinner table so nothing wrong with them other than there lazy 🦥
