Hey Richard, havenât heard from you in a while I got injured a little over 2 years and I was scared of my future with such a injury and one day in rehab I came across your videos and they helped me and gave me hope. I really hope you are doing good man and one day come back and do more videos. You really are a big inspiration and a really good roll model!
As a pharmacist of 30+ years, Iâve seen all types of hacks but this one is the best Iâve seen! Glad youâre back with videos!
Iâm relatively new to both my Chair and the Channel but have gained much from your videos. Itâs sad no-one knows what has happened but if you see this Richard, thank you and I wish you well and hope you are safe.
Thank you again.
Richard, its been more than a year I hope your ok
Iâm really concerned about him. The third to last video he made about him dealing with getting his supplies he didnât seem good at all and he even talked about how this stuff could lead people to end it all

I've been hoping an praying he is ok
I've even tried reaching out on other social media sites but there's been no posts
Hey, I know you're not making these videos anymore, and I get it. I'm sure it was exhausting. But I just wanted to tell you how much they helped me when I first got my wheelchair. I went from "fuuuuuuuuuuck" to "fuck it, I can do this!" and I have! I still travel (only by car, so far) and go camping, explore the accessible areas of national parks and museums. And you really helped give me the can do attitude.
I hope you're doing well, and again, thank you! đ„°
That's super inspirational, I'm not a wheelchair usernor anything but have been watching Richard for years, hopefully he updates us soon, but it seems lile making these videos stresses him out on top of all other things.
Richard - I love your channel and youâve inspired me in many ways. I see you havenât posted a video in quite a while and hope you are doing ok.
Richard, we are worried about you! Hope you are well. Miss your videos
Just came across the stage and I'm wondering the same thing... Because I visited the Instagram and it has zero posts on it
â@@okpoptartyeah and no community posts. He just dissappeared
Another tip I've seen work for others is to time your pill taking along with another task, like feeding the cat - they're pretty regular with their meowing when it's meal time, so can be a useful memory trigger! Is good for habit building.
Hey man. Hope youâre ok. Love from đŹđ§
Hi Richard, Hope all is well. Miss you God Bless.
Please let us know that you're OK. You're such a blessing.
Iâm so glad I have nurses that come home to me once a wheel with a complete tray with a whole week worth of meds. And I use a pill reminder app that reminds me every 4 hours to take them. I use painkillers for nervepain. And if I leave the house for more than a fees hours I just take the tray with me in my backpack that I have on the back of my wheelchair.
I have commented on many of your videos as being super helpful in dealing with my own struggles as a paraplegic. Just wanted to thank you again and hope you are doing well. I know life happens and gets busy, hope to see you updating us all soon!
Richard, hope your doing great ! I miss ya as you helped me so much when i was first in my chair. Great big hugs
Hi Richard,
I hope you are o.k..
Missing you now for a long time so I hope things are going good.
I Loved to watch your CZcams videos and learned a lot of them and motivated me and i gues a lot of others.
Wishing you all the best and hope to see you bak pretty soon or if you feek better.
Greetings from the Netherlands
Ron
I deal with chronic illness (hence the channel name) and take a lot of meds. Thanks for these ideas.
2 years ago... hope you ok man
Only thing I could think to add is, auto-refills at the pharmacy. I only use 1 or 2 meds but have them automatically text when they're ready.
anybody know about him, how he doing, any news. hope he is doing well.
Richard, 9 months seems to be a long time. I hope you are doing ok.
Any news about him
@@AdamTrux I haven't heard anything. I know someone in Atlanta that knows him. I'm about to make a phone call and check up on him.
When I had my accident in 2018 I discovered Wheels2Walking in Atlanta at Shepherds Center. He got me through a very dark time and showed me there is hope.
@@Its_Me_Wheelz Please let us know if you hear any news. Thank you.
@@Its_Me_Wheelz I do hope you got hold of someone.
I am just about to start my wheelchair journey, watching the wheelie video since that is the first thing I need to learn here, quick pop up ones, this channel is the first to pop up on me, and I love it. I hope he's ok!!
@@Its_Me_Wheelz take care, and let us know any update of Richard đ
Richard - I hope you are ok. I miss your videos.
So I have seen many of your videos and never knew until recently. That I know you lol. We went to church together back in the day in Roanoke va. Your dad and my mom played in the church band. What a small world. Glad to see you doing so well keep up the good work. I know you may not remember or know who I am but I remember you. Good luck on your next adventure.
Still no update on how he's doing? I can't find anything on him that is recent info either.
Hello, Wheels2Walking I watched you for a few years now and I never been in a wheelchair before but it looks interesting so good luck just remember to enjoy your life no mater what happens â€ïž
I do something similar. I take pills twice a day, so instead of colors, I use a larger tray for my morning pills, and a smaller tray for my evening pills. It's really great to help me remember if I've taken them or not. But I hate refilling them every week, so I have four of each size tray, and only refill them once every 28 days.
iâve done the counting and crap you drop one great hacks when you have a chronic illness meds can be wtf another fun video love the purple shirt
Richard, i like your hacks! Most of my meds are 2x a day. I use a two, shelved spice rack and the top shelf is am and bottom, is PM. From top to bottom. A great reminder. I use MedSafe to remind me of more frequent meds. Thanks for sharing!
This is a great idea, I use a large weekly one but I still forget, even with the notifications. Having three smaller ones with staging areas sounds like a much better concept. Thank you for the awesome idea.
Yeah, same. I don't know how between Alexa and Google home reminders I still manage to forget, but staging areas is definitely worth a try
Haven't heard from you in a while. I hope you are doing alright.
Richard, we're all hoping you're doing okay, will be keeping an eye out for a post or a thumbs up somewhere, we miss you
Where ya at man? I need to know you are ok. Im a new spinal cord injury (Cauda Equina L2 L3) your videos really help! Hope your good!
Some news about this man Richard ??
@@thomasserein9110 none =(
@@GaryonWheels Ok man. Bless you
@@GaryonWheels I'm concerned, there is nothing about him, and his instagram is gone, he deleted all posts and changed it. (I don't use Instagram, but checked it).
@@meganroberts4387 yea =( at this point all we can do is hope he is ok!
Happy Easter!!
I've been doing this sort of thing for years, and it's so much easier than trying to deal with bottles. I actually learned it from my mom when I was young, so it's always been part of how I manage my meds. I take meds 4 times a day, and I'm often out of the house when I need to take them, especially in the evenings (sometimes for more/far longer than I originally anticipated), so what I like to do is use an organizer with 4x/day removable boxes, then I can take the entire day with me in case I might not be home in time, and that way I don't have to take the entire week's boxes (I will note that I'm on so many that I had to get the biggest 4x/day removable box organizer I could find - each day's full box isn't much smaller than your full week ones - so carrying the whole week wouldn't work (it'd be huge and really heavy, so I only do it when traveling i.e. when I already need to take the whole thing with me anyway, and it fits securely in a case so nothing can fall out in transit - they've got secure enough latches that in the 3 1/2 years that I've had them, none of them have ever popped open on me without fairly significant external torque on their doors), but one day is perfect for me). I color code as well in a way - I have several weeks' worth of boxes, and each week is a different color, that way, since some meds have to be built up to the full dose over time, I don't lose track of which week is which during the process, in case I accidentally stack them out of order. I have enough for 4 weeks right now, so I usually refill them every 4 weeks or so (none of my meds have to stay in their packaging until taken/can't be out of the packaging for very long - I know some meds are like that, thankfully none of mine are), so, while it might take me a few hours to do all 4 weeks, I only have to do them about once a month or so - it's awesome!
Mine are mostly timed around when I eat, but because when I eat fluctuates so much, I can't really set specific times to take them - I've tried taking certain ones on a empty stomach, and that has never ended well, so I basically organize them by what has to be taken after eating/says to be taken with food and what can be taken on an empty stomach.
Richard where have you gone. Here is hoping you are well?!
hope you're doing well richard. it's been about a year without posts
Missing ur vids and stuff!! Hope youâre all okay
Richard, we are all worried about you. I hope you are doing okay.
I hope you're okay. Your video(s) and story got me through a depressive time last year and to see you go AWOL on everybody who supports and cares for you is disappointing. Wishing you well.
Hello again, been a while and no uploads. Youâve helped me a lot and I just wanted to know if all is good
Hope he ok
I just found this channel and the first video I watched Richard talked about suicide, then I noticed he hasn't posted and all his socials are quiet. I hope he didn't đđ» I hope you're reading this Richard taking a break and you're doing ok.
Hey Richard, I really hope you are okay? I'm worried about you.
Loved this video Richard! Hope you are inspired by the positive feedback from others.
Thought to myself it would just be about using pill boxes but I was wrong! Organisation and self discipline is key. Experience has taught me a lot in the 20 years since my sci. I realise for me I need to keep a medication order diary and set up reminders so Iâm not going to run out of stuff.
Many thanks and I look forward to the next video. Many thanks.
Hey! Good to see you back. Your suggestion is a great one. I am an amputee, BKR, but I have been following you for about a year and a half because you always seem to have good ideas and there are many of them that carry over. Plus you are pleasing on the eye [nice beard BTW] and you are funny. Thank you so much!
I really hope you're okay, missing you lots!
Excellent tips. I liked having the trays in a certain area, very visible, to remind you to take the meds.
Loved your acting!
Thank you for sharing all of your advice and tips. I am navigating using a wheelchair right now to build back my independence and your videos have been so helpful! I hope you are ok and taking a much needed break. Wishing you all the best
Wheels2walking were you at waiting on that banger video
Has anyone heard or know him personally to know if he's okay or not? Someone else in the comments said he passed away and I'm not sure if that's true or not... just concerned about him in general. Hoping for the best.
passed away? lol... lets not believe such negative rumors
@@BenTheSkipper negative? death is a part of life and we will ALL have to face it. It's scary, it's one of the most difficult parts of life when we lose a loved one. It can come suddenly, it can be unexpected- no one knows when their time is up. That said, I hope that he's doing well and just decided to take a break from social media without telling his audience. Still hoping for the best.
No I remember he posted a video explaining he was taking a break from CZcams for now because heâs now going on to work on other projects. He didnât say what they were but it was either a novel or a new business idea.
He was going to move to Patreon.
@@kdcbattlecreek his last post on patreon was in June and he said he was having mental health struggles.
I also refill on Wednesday afternoons! Gotta be done by 2pm.
My pills tray is awesome - colour coded by day (red - Sunday, orange Monday, yellow - Tuesday etc) there are 7 seperate trays in the box, with 4 compartments in each. I just take that days tray with me wherever I go that day.
Mine are like that, too, Red = Sunday to Pink = Saturday 4x/day with each day being removable. I ended up having to get the biggest one I could find because I'm on so many things (each day of mine is almost the size of one of his weekly ones) - I started out trying to use two 2x/day boxes (w/removable days) with really big compartments, but that epically failed because I would often forget to bring the second box for the day with me, or I ended up being out for far longer than I originally thought (the more common one), so I had to get one where I'd always have the full day no matter what. Having just the single week with different colors for each day worked great for me until I was on something that took several weeks to build up to the full dose, then I had to keep track of which week was which, so I ended up (over the course of about 2 1/2 years) acquiring enough that I could have each week be its own color, and that has done wonders for me because I can keep track of exactly which order the weeks are supposed to be in when building up, because before I would have easily forgotten and would have had to go through all the boxes to be able to determine what order they were supposed to be in if I accidentally got them out of order. So now I have 5 that I use regularly (4 weeks of most and 1 with 2 weeks of another where each dose takes up a full compartment, the latter of which I'm fine with refilling every 2 weeks) and 2 set aside for travel (I don't mind having to refill every week when traveling if it means I only have to bring 2 trays instead of 5), I only have to refill 4 of them every 4 weeks, and the other one every 2 weeks.
I am glad that as an older person I already had practice in organizing and sorting pills, especially since I often had to travel. My current "Pill Day" is Sunday after evening pills. Sometimes I'm so tired I contemplate just putting out the Monday Morning pills and finishing then.
My current rig is held in a leather case not very large and the plastic boxes are 4 spots per day, each day different color, and each day separate from the other. So very helpful to bring only the days I need with me. But I always take at least one day extra with me if not 2 or 3. Stayed over a night longer than planned, but I had the meds.
I am just entering into my new "Wheelchair Life". I can still walk but have a disease that is making walking more and more painful, so a wheelchair if I want to go anywhere. Your channel has been a great help! I know the VA has resources for the wounded soldiers but in my case, a non-service related, non-injury induced wheelchair use, well... So thanks.
Where are you? What's going on in your life? Are you okay?
I hope you're doing OK, man.
A hack that I use is taking a picture of my PRN (as needed) meds whenever I take them. That way I have visual evidence and also donât have to write down what I took and what time. This has been soooooo helpful these past few years since I started doing this. Iâm on a lot of meds for a neurological disorder (idiopathic intracranial hypertension) and also have a partially paralyzed leg from a surgery a year ago where my spinal cord was damaged. My surgeon didnât realize that when he removed my shunt tubing from my spine (due to infection) it was actually stuck to my spinal cord and he pulled on the tubing causing injury to my spinal cord. Every couple months Iâll go and delete the pictures as well. I hope this hack I use can help someone!!! Thanks for sharing your hack!!!
Hope all is well. â€
I really appreciate and enjoy your content. I hope your doing ok and hopefully you'll return to CZcams soon đ€
Thatâs a wonderful system đ
This helps my son for his ADHD
We love you Richard. Sending Blessings full of healing, peace love and light from the UK. â€
I've been following you and love your videos I can't seem to find you anywhere in any social media's. are you making any content? I'm super sick basically bedridden and was hoping to catch up with your videos and noticed there's no more podcast either. I'm so sad. Hope you're alright â€ïž all the best
Yooo!!! RICHARDDD!!!
Also - keep human meds and pet meds in separate places so there are no mix-ups!!! I work in vet med and have seen multiple pets get very sick and even a few die because they were accidentally given their human's medication!
My dog and I are both on multiple heart & pain meds, but different ones that would be dangerous if switched, so I keep them in different rooms and they're attached to completely seperate parts of my routine.
Where are you? Are you not making videos anymore? I miss your videos!!!!
I have the mega pill dispenser. The most frequency i have had was 4 times a day. So there are 4 rows. I also refill it on Wednesday. It can take a call to my dr for refills so Wednesday give 2 clinic days for the dr to call or fax the pharmacy and i have the next week to call if needed. Thank you for these videos.
I have 2 meds that need to be taken at different times or they'll contraindicate each other, so one is a morning med, and the other is a night time med. Refill the boxes every week. Being more organised has given me more control and made it less stressful.
I use this method for myself. I would like to add that when I travel, I purchase pill Ziploc stylebags (local pharmacy and Amazon both sell them), label them with the day and am or pm, and put all of them into a larger Ziploc bag. When I arrive at my destination, I lay them all out on the dresser and then follow the same method of reminding myself which pills to take. Keeps me from dragging all of my bottles with me.
Iâm thankful you make videos like this. I feel like a walking pharmacy and often wonder âdid I take that pillâ⊠I just wonder if I can source a pill case with child locks since I have a toddler. I keep extras in my wheelchair but thatâs only enough solution to have them when I remember. Iâm off to Google, but thank you for making your content.
When I was ill with an autoimmune disease, I had to take 16 prednisones. In one day I had to take 30 different tablets. Sorting them all out into pill boxes on a Sunday simplified my life for the week ahead. I didn't need to count out every single pill daily, this task took me a good hour. I also put alarms on my phone to remind me of the order in which to take them. Certain tablets needed to be taken before food, others after food.
My favourite pill box was a stack that was marked for each day and each day had 6 parts, the lid sliding them all open and closed, so I wouldn't have to open every single compartment, only slide them all open at one time, leaving other ones closed for later. The current day would be at the bottom of the stack, at the end of the day you slide it back into the top of the stack, and the next day would be at the bottom.......
Iâve been hoping for another video wondering for a whole year if heâs okay?
Ive just found your channel. Its wonderful, I hope you do more and are keeping well.
Great hacks. When you take medication regularly you're not sure if you took the pills today or was that yesterday. The pill boxes are an absolute necessity for me. You're almost at 100k subscribers!!! Okay everyone watching, subscribe if you're not already. đđ
Add ADHD into the mix (of already taking things regularly/multiple times a day), and a pill box is an absolute non-negotiable - so many times I've been like, "did I take them already, or did I not?" but one look at my transparent box tells me exactly what I need to know; otherwise I'd probably err either one way or the other, depending on what I was taking, both of which could be bad. And plus, it's just annoying to have to get them out of the bottles every single time.
I do exactly the same thing. The difference being that I use ONE large pill box that has 4 (see-through colored & labled day & time) sections for each part of each day. Ex: yellow says MORN, pink says NOON, blue says EVE, purple says BED. This is really helpful because I also spread out supplements too.
I fil my meds two weeks at a time in a similar fashion to yours but in smaller morning, noon night with the days on them. It helps me remember so much better. Also, like you said traveling is such much easier.
I have a purse, so not having to buy and carry a huge bag is wonderful!! Great tips. I also use med fill day to write on my calendar and in my phone when to call the pharmacies.
I also put all the meds that need to be refilled into a Ziploc so no I don't accidentally drop a bottle and freak out! It had happened before!
Also be careful with pop tops that don't stay on well!
Good luck guys!
Hope u do okay. đȘ
Yup. I take meds like 8x a day and they have to be crushed. Such a pain but definitely makes life easier to have a Webster pack
I got a pill organizer 7 boxes with 3 compartments, each box labelled with the day of the week as well as being different colours..I still forget sometimes! đ
I got a weekly three a day container for my wife. Where each day is removable. So we can also just take a single days worth with and it has all three times divided and ready.
Im on 34 prescriptions due to multiple autoimmune diseases that i had paior to my spinal injury. I've used a pill organizer for probably 20 years. I do a month at a time. I have four trays with one tray per day and four slots per day. The only thing i don't put in there are pain meds that are as needed.
Great tips, I definitely picked up a few that I hadnât used before. Thank you from New Orleans!!!
It's been 11months are you OK?
Dosette boxes⊠make so much difference - I like the âold script bottleâ idea, but we donât get bottles very much in the UK
Ask your pharmacy for a bottle, if they are a good one they will let you have one!
đ got reminders on my phone but that barely works lmao, the pill divider is the only thing thatâs helped me
i do not see no enew videos of you where are you... Mr Richard Corbett
I have a tray that has a morning afternoon and nighttime compartment for everyday of the week. They come out individually by day!
Are you okay? No community posts no videos
I've tried 3 pill apps. They all seem to have bugs. The worst is marking a dose taken that I skipped. Thanks. And I set the alarm in the app, and a backup on the phone clock 3 mins later. I'm a talker, and I just don't stop to take a pill. Love your vids!
I use alarms on my watch during the day and a back up phone alarm for 6am and 10pm in case I fall asleep.
You can also get Timer Caps that will tell you how much time has passed since you opened it. They can also be great alternatives.
When I was on the pill, I had an alarm on my phone for the 10 years I was on the medication. It SAVED my ass so many times.
Wya Richard show your self boy
I use dose pots weekly and have alarms on time and then an hour later to make sure I didn't forget! On the very rare occasions I miss my morning meds by midday I feel like curling up in a ball and sleeping!
I only have to take once a day meds at the moment so luckily I can just leave them in the bottles, but if I have to get more this is definitely something I'm doing.
Dosette boxes⊠make so much difference.
I use the system you use (I only have to do twice a day).
The only thing that throws me out is if I eat late and take my tablets 'before' I eat. Any tablet is going to kick in faster and hit harder on an empty stomach. I really try to have food in my belly as any tablet is harsher on an empty stomach.
My tablets hit like a freight train if I do take before eating..definitely not a fun feeling as it's like being sea sick.
My favorite pill box ever I learned about on here from, âThe Frey Life.â It only has AM and PM for 7 days but if you only take meds twice a day I guarantee you, you will love it. It has little rubber things that help the lids pop open all the way when to press the button to open it. It also stays closed easier than those standard trays. Each day is a different color (itâs a rainbow). I got it off Amazon. You have a great system here going on!!
You can also get a monthâs worth of meds already grouped together in a blister pack for free at a lot of pharmacies. I used to use them when I first started to have to take all my meds on my own (because I grew up and became an adult đ). It helped me transition to making sure I know what everything I need each time and double checking.
Hey Iâm recently paralyzed 1 year now and could use advice Iâm from Wisconsin and drive a Manuel 6 speed car love to show I think you would think itâs kinda neat idk đ€·ââïž hopefully you see this love your channel
I miss your uploads bro where you been how r u I miss you bro
I keep getting ads for that Hero dispenser. Nope! For one thing, it's hundreds of dollars. Plus, I've seen it in sponsored CZcams videos, and it's NOISY! It's like they've got a food blender going.
I think I'll stick to dollar store pill boxes, and phone alarms, like you ;)
Oh thank goodness this wasnât an ad for Hero. I would love one but thereâs no way I can afford it and my insurance wonât cover it.
You Alive and Well ?
How r u doing my dude?
Thank you for the tips because I got so annoyed with the reminder medication app going off a few times a day
