♿️BUYING MOBILITY AIDS FROM WISH!

♿️I BROUGHT DISABILITY MOBILITY AIDS FROM WISH. IN THIS WISH HAUL I BROUGHT DISABILITY EQUIPMENT TO USE IN THE HOUSE TO MAKE IT MORE ACCESSIBLE, AND ITEMS FOR OUT AND ABOUT. I THOUGHT IT WOULD BE FUN TO SEE WHAT MOBILITY AIDS FOR THE DISABLED WOULD BE LIKE FROM WISH. I THOUGHT I WOULD TRY BUYING CHEAP ITEMS FROM WISH TO SEE WHAT THEY ARE REALLY LIKE. IF WE CAN MAKE ANY SAVINGS, AND IF THEY ARE TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE.

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.

Hi Gem, I am an Occupational Therapist from Australia and I love watching you videos. They are fantastic for showing positive view of disability, particularly for younger individuals. I would, however, be really careful using suction rails. Practicing as a clinician in the community, I have heard too many horror stories of these rails "popping off" and people having having nasty falls. I would only use a suction rail as a last resort and probably make sure it passes all safety codes and standards before you do them (try to buy from trusted disability equipment supplier if you can to check this). I hope you do make it to Australia with your family one day soon. Keep posting amazing content. 😁🇦🇺

I have one of the “telephone” grab handles. Not from wish but a brand I trust. I use it horizontally on my tub to help me safely stand up from the tub. Obviously I am not wheel chair dependent. I have hypermobile joints that are prone to collapsing out from under me. I do recommend checking the hold of the grips each time before using them because they do need to be reattached every once in a while.

We have several in my mom’s bathroom. They definitely have to be on tile or plastic or fiberglass. Mom has been using a wheelchair full time for almost a year, due to a mild stroke & frequent falls. These grab bars make it possible for her to go to the toilet by herself, at home. We have some in the stand up shower , much safer for her bath aide to get her in & out of the shower

I have truly benefited so much from all that you’ve shared. You are always so upbeat and positive but by the same token you tell it like it is. I love how you go above and beyond to be an amazing wife and mother. Your husband is a lot like my husband, always supportive and there without question or any hesitation. Your husband seems to know exactly how to be able to be there for you and yet allow you the space you need to be independent. I think you are an amazing family and I never miss a video and I feel that I owe you a huge thank you. I know you’ve probably always hoped your videos proved to be helpful to others and wondered if they had been and I just want you to know they have been a lot of help to someone.... to me and I am sure that I am just one of many. Thanks again.

Thanks for the video, I always enjoy watching your videos, they're fun and informative and you present yourself very well on camera. I liked the idea of the umbrella as I find hoods are a pain in that they block out sound, peripheral vision and don't turn with you when you turn your head. I have actually been looking at an umbrella hat on amazon that has a (covered) vent at the top to let the wind out and reduce the likelihood of it blowing off, it also has a chin strap as well as the band around the top of the head. It's also a little bigger so would keep your shoulders and maybe even lap dry, but being bigger makes me worry I'd accidentally poke someone with it. I still can't decide whether to go for it or not. With the lights for the wheels, it looked like you didn't fit them quite right which is why the flapped around and came off. You have to have it touching three spokes. You clip the centre grove onto the middle spoke and tuck the wings underneath the adjacent spokes so that it ends up going behind the left spoke, in front of the centre one and behind the right-most spoke. I know the on the spinergy wheels the spokes are too far apart but they should have fitted the other wheel, apologies if that's what you did, but it wasn't clear and looked like you only tried to tuck one end under the adjacent spoke instead of both ends. If you do ever use the suction mounted grab rails always test them before trusting them with your full weight as even if they were stuck firmly to start with they can slowly lose their grip over time, especially if the ambient temperature fluctuates a lot as that can affect the pressure inside the suction cup. It's interesting that you mentioned the bag you bought for the back of your wheelchair could work quite well as a baby changing bag, as the bag that I use actually is a changing bag which I bought because it looks so much nicer than any of the wheelchair bags I was looking at yet still has clips to attach to my wheelchair. Anyway enough of my ramblings, sorry my comment ended up so long! Thanks again for the video, I look forward to seeing the next one. =)

I have a manual wheelchair called Loki, an electric called Hela, crutches call bill and ben ( my nephew named them) and a stick called greg (like house) It was how i learned to accept my aids. Could you do a video on - Dealing with stigma of being in a wheelchair when young eg. Being a wheelchair parent etc - Easy modifications around the house to make like easier - Struggles and pluses of being in an interabled relationship. - Dealing with the lockdown while being disabled. ( this lockdown is already driving me crazy) Thanks. Hope you are having a good day and being safe.

Nice laugh! I went to the site and everything is between about 65 and 95% off. You can't look at any details on the items without an account and signing in. For all you older people like me who remember a tv show called "Lost In Space" I will say one line that was probably one of the most common in that show. "Danger Will Robinson, danger!!!!" There can be only one reason why the prices are so low now. Cheap products that were over priced to begin with bought in big lots and now they're trying to avoid a total loss on what they bought. On another topic. Handles, grab bars, railings all need to be installed correctly. You do not suction cup or glue them to painted walls, or tiles. They need to be secured to solid points like the wall studs, flooring (that's if you have a solid subfloor or concrete flooring), floor joists and the like. Some of these are not hard to install yourself if you have a mind to. There are plenty of videos on how to do it. Some are trickier like using wall or floor anchors but you HAVE TO KNOW WHAT YOU'RE DOING. I know that medical equipment is expensive, but trying to save money by buying these stick on or suction cup devices is just not worth risking your safety or health.

My mother has pretty much that exact bath board and it works well for her. She has Rheumatoid arthritis and can't stand for a long time and isn't super stable on her feet. So she uses the board to sit on in order to swing her legs into the bathtub (shower). She also sits on it to soap up her legs/feet and just to rest. It might not be appropriate for paralysed people, but it seems to help for elderly/low mobility people (as long as plastic is strong enough for the person's weight).

Hiya Gem. You could do a video about wheelchair tips, tricks, hacks, etc for new wheelchair users. My husband pushes me as I'm unable to wheel myself around much. He's wondering if you have any advice on pushing up and down steep hills, if there's any way to make it easier at all?... And thanks for this fun video, quite entertaining! 😁

Best tip is to zig-zag your way up or down.

@@billiebluesheepie2907 Thank you, that makes sense. We'll definitely try that where there's enough space. Some of the pavements/sidewalks are very narrow. But your advice will save me from crashing into some walls next time lol

I had the same sort of bathing board as you but only four massive slats

@jamiehamilton675 3 жыл бұрын

I kind of feel bad for you guys struggling with the bath board lol, I have almost exactly like but knew how to put it together. I hate mine, mine is like that wish one, I cant use it because it's so narrow My hips dislocate easily. Since it doesn't support my legs well my hip pops out on it. I've also had issues where my feet slide forward if there's soap on the floor of the tub or something when my foot slides forward so does the rest of my body because my bath board is also really slippery so I've had a lot of injuries from it. Yay for living in the US. But if I had known you, I would have got on webcam or something with you and showed you how to put it together quicker.

Get a battery-powered (waterproof) LED light strand and see how they work woven into your wheelchair spokes!

Im still very tippy in my wheelchair, if I put absolutely anything on the back I will flip backwards! Did the wheelchair bag change the balance in the chair at all?
