My Tiny Kitchen

Welcome to my small condo kitchen. My roommate, Sierra, and I are both completely paralyzed and use wheelchairs full time, which leads some to believe that this tiny kitchen wouldn't work.

Cleaning the Shower as a Paraplegic

Can I actually do all the things that I used to do around the house to remain independent? A question that I wasn't totally sure I wanted to find out the answer to in the first years of injury. My mom and dad were often the people who would show up to help me reach the spots that are difficult from the seated position. So this is it! Me independently cleaning my tub shower...and I wasn't too di...

    So good to see you back with a new video. The hotel setup is a dream, not what I've run into even close in the past 22yrs as a para. What were you in DC for? Tourism or business? As an older teen in the late 60s, I moved there from Hawaii (great sadness) but the DC area has so many great places to visit & see. I hope you will do a video on your stay in DC and visit.

    Good to see a new video from you! I'm actually in a wheelchair as well and I had a visit to DC visiting a brother of mine at Galludet University. We were in an air B+B. It's always interesting when you have to find a way to make your living arrangements work for you. Luckily there was room for me to get around without bumping into everything and make it work.

    I've never understood the functional design of the cutout bench seat in the roll-in shower. I find it hard to transfer onto them because the cutout makes it especially challenging to position myself -- my legs (knee height) want to advance forward as I transfer and the cutout wedges them in. I know of not a single para who has this style of bench seat in their home.

    So good to see you, it’s been far too long since your last video. Great to see hotel’s stepping up, like this one. Got to meet a dear friend of yours, Bean, in Toronto in February. I was there for a Nero-trauma conference, and Bean was doing CBC press interviews. Ends up Bean is very good friends with the couple I traveled down to Toronto to the conference. We ended up having dinner together that evening with Bean, she’s a lovely person. The funny thing is I passed her in the hall earlier, when I was taking my service dog out to pee, and I said to myself I know her from somewhere. When she came to dinner it dawned on me it was from the Tv show Push, small world we live in. Hope all is well with you.

    I'm looking to retire in a year and was looking for something like this to do some cross-country travelling through North America. I need something light enough to safely haul behind my Audi TTS. I tried to look at the company's website, but my computer's security flagged it as a dangerous site. Weird... The only thing missing is some kind of awning to shelter your wheelchair from the rain when you are inside the trailer. (It doesn't look like there is enough room to bring your chair inside.) I would also need some kind of mounting system for my Varna Handcycle, in case I'm stranded in the middle of nowhere and need to make it to the next town. I think the plan for showers would be a bucket of water and a bar of soap, or if you could find a truck stop somewhere. The bigger ones usually have laundry and shower facilities. I hope to camp in BC soon and enjoy the majestic Rocky mountain scenery. Enjoying the video. Keep up the good work. 👍✌

    Hey there! I'm a T4 SCI dude from the east coast (NB). I went 25+ years without brakes because I used my everyday chair as my basketball chair and I wanted to keep it light. I can't remember why, but I started using them again about 10 years ago. I rarely use them but they do come in handy sometimes. Discovering slanted floors always seems to occur at the worst times. I like the new chair, but I don't have the balls to order a new chair without COG adjustment, (which would require caster adjustment capability) or a folding adjustable back. Speaking of, I just don't find those fabric backs very comfortable. I know it will add weight, but do you think you'll ever put an aftermarket backrest on? I wanted to check out Society Wheelchairs but it looks like they went out of business. I've always stuck with the single compartment 4" Roho with the incontinence cover. (Never experienced a pressure sore.) I look forward to discovering your other videos. I welcome you to check out my videos as well. Mounting a blade to the back of my Audi TTS and plowing my driveway. Good luck!
