    Shane was born with a neuromuscular disease called Spinal Muscular Atrophy that requires him to use an electric wheelchair. He is the author of several award-winning books, the President of a nonprofit organization called Laughing At My Nightmare, and a renowned public speaker who has performed across the country at places such as Harvard University, The University of Florida, The University of Connecticut, Princeton University, and many more.
    Hannah just graduated from Carleton College, where she studied Sociology and Anthropology. Her future aspirations include attending graduate school and owning a goat sanctuary. She films and edits the “Squirmy and Grubs” vlog.
    Shane and Hannah have been dating for 3+ years and living together in Minneapolis for a year. On June 15th, 2019 they got engaged!!!! Their interabled relationship often confuses people, because much of society still cannot fathom people with disabilities being involved in loving, intimate relationships. Anyone who watches these episodes will quickly see their relationship is just as “normal” as any other. Sure, Hannah helps Shane use the bathroom and brush his teeth, but those activities do not detract from the emotional, intellectual, and physical connection they experience together.

      This is partly for KYLE! DONT GIVE UP LOOKING FOR MISS RIGHT ! I WAS MARRIED OVER 18 YEARS TO A C 5. QUAD WHO I knew For 34 years and helped care for 25 years. I adored him . He was the sweetest man I've ever known and we had a blast together. He just passed after being in the chair for 40 years. I dont remember when we decided for him to have an ostomy bag. ....but we decided together as his enemas took way too long and if we had a nurse help they wouldn't stay longer then 2hrs. My hubbie took about 4.....6 hrs to get ready for his day so having the ostomy Freed us up by 2 ...3 hrs to leave.......either for work or to go have a fun day. Yes, there will always be accidents and increased care as you age but when you've found " the one" it's all so worth it. B. T. W. my hubbie had been a woodshop teacher....injured around age. 35. We met when we were 38 and I had been married before . Anthony was the love of my life. "Disabilities" never get in the way of true love!!! Love you Squirmy and Grubs. My Anthony. wrote his story too but publishers (only tried one) felt it too risque. Lolol

That is how I fell in love with him. I was sure he would leave me, after that mess. Lol nope we got married, had 2 beautiful girls, we dated 4 years, and married 17 years. He passed away in October 2018. Thank you for the beautiful memory.

    My man is amazing, I have an ileostomy and one morning he wakes me up and looks at his shorts and says to me "baby, I think you 💩 on me" laughing. And when I first got it he was helping me change it amd if you know anything about ileostomies amd crohns you know that it projectile poops amd is very watery and he was jumping back and side to miss the poop sprays while he laughed. I was mortified but he made me feel so much better. And he pulled off my bag in a moment of passion and agian all he did was laugh. Every bag change he asks if I need help. He has been my Hannah. I love these two and they have helped me feel so much better about my husband being my caregiver.

      Ok, I teared up reading your comment bc I too have Crohn's, and a ileostomy. But I don't have a partner or anything like that. One of the reasons why I'm not with anyone is bc of this bag. This poop bag that saved my life! I shouldn't be ashamed of embarrassed by it, but I am, and I'm working on not feeling like that. I just wanted to say thank you for posting this though. It gives me hope that I can find someone like your husband. 🤗

      @vintaqe_vibez5978 Před 3 lety +9

      @@AuthenticallyNita look up what a stoma or ileostomy looks like. It's part of the intestine, so it sticks out a bit. People with ileostomies can't form solid stool, it's pretty much always very soft. So whenever the bag is off, sometimes the poo will shoot right out, especially if there's gas going along with it. Think of it as whenever you have raging diarrhea, and it just comes blowing out of you. It doesn't happen all the time, but it definitely has happened to me. Sorry if my comment was way too TMI.

    As someone with Spina Bifida, the most embarrassing aspect, especially in terms of dating, is by far the lack of bowel and bladder control. I've actually had more than one woman state that reason specifically for why they couldn't see themselves dating me. For that reason I just want to say thank you for posting this as it was oddly reassuring that there are women out there who can look past even the most embarrassing and difficult aspects of a disability and still love the person inside the body.

    My husband used to have a severe gag reflex even just seeing poop. One day years ago he was sick and had accident. He was gagging while I was cleaning him up in the shower and I was trying to hurry and reassure him that it wasn’t that bad. Then I just started cracking up and said “it’s the scary poop”. Not sure why it was so funny to me but the gagging just cracked me up. He has such a great sense of humor that he started laughing too. We totally got the giggles together to the point of tears. Awe such an awesome memory. 😂

    I'm 46 and have moderately severe Cerebral Palsy. My able-bodied wife and I have been married 17 years, and we have a very similar story from when we had been dating only a few months. We were celebrating New Year's Eve at her place and I think just before or after midnight I had diarrhea and it was the first time she had helped me go #2. I was embarrassed to tell her and knew this would either kill our relationship or cement it for life. She was so caring and loving about the whole thing, and afterwards she walked down to the corner store to buy some Imodium for me if I remember correctly. We don't drink, so we were sober, I just can't remember all the details. I do remember telling her "You must really love me!"
    I'm definitely going to show her this video tomorrow; she and I love watching things we can relate to.

    I remember a story my aunt and uncle told. It was very early in their relationship and they went horseback riding. Not something they would normally do. My aunt’s horse got spooked and started running. She saw a pond and ended up peeing in her pants. My uncle was so understanding and put her at ease. She knew at that point she loved him. Over the years they were rarely separated and were so
    Much in love. They were such a fun couple!! They were married 49 years. Sadly, my uncle died n 2012 from a massive, sudden stroke. He died two days later on his 70th birthday.

    Poop is always a make or break it in relationships. My sister called me from her boyfriend's mom's house and she had pooped and clogged the toilet and couldn't get it unclogged and she was mortified. She had to go get her boyfriend and he had to unclog her poopy toilet. I told her right then that they were getting married. When you go through something like that... It just connects you on the deepest most private level😂😂They've now been married 4 years!

    My husband and I have a similar story while we were dating. We are both able bodied, but I had just had surgery and could not "clean" myself properly on my own. I sat there for as long as I possibly could trying to figure out how I could do this. I couldn’t. I needed help. I could call my mom and sit there for the 45 mins or so it would have taken her to get to me. That wasn’t going to work. Meanwhile, my SO kept asking if I was ok. I kept assuring him I was. I sat there for a while and started getting nauseous. I had just had surgery and should have been resting. The nausea was getting worse, not to mention the previous problem was not getting any better. I knew double duty was about to happen. I leaned over the trash can and proceeded to vomit, as well as other bodily functions. I was a mess from head to toe. I knew I had to tell him. The look on his face was a combination of fear and pity. I was mortified, but knew he was the only option. He cleaned me up, and put me back to bed. All he said was he was sorry I had to go through that and I should have told him sooner. After that any time I got up to use the rest room, until I was able to complete the process on my own, he was right there, taking care of me. It was then we knew and we were married within a year. 20 years later, there is nothing we wouldn’t do for each other. No matter how disturbing. Thanks for sharing your story.

I broke my neck impinging my spinal chord = instant disability. So I'm now a quadriplegic. I function quite well tho. Just like Shane. I can't walk at all but I pivot like a pro into the shower stuff like that. Anyhoo I can relate to this channel so well. I have wonderful husband - and he's very handsome So we get the looks. And we're used to it now. It doesn't bother us. We love each other as much as we did before my accident. My mum and brother have abandoned me emotionally since my paralysis. Some people can't handle being around it. And that's the sad truth. We have twin sons x 24-yrs old. But just love you guys. You are both so funny. Love from disability land in Toronto!! xoxo
