We want our channel to show how we live well as an interabled couple, where one partner has a major disability. We both face extra challenges, but are trying not to be defined by that; everyone, after all, has challenges in their life. We are living our best life, enjoying retirement and we love spending time together. It’s all good!!

Sharks? Holiday Ornaments We Love! #vlogmas #wheelchairlife
Dan, I can see that you are loving the holiday shopping this year! I can’t wait to see what you surprise Sharon with, please make a video of it! Sharon, I love your blue sweatshirt, especially the saying… The Christmas tree looks beautiful, such a warm & welcoming home. You both exude the Peace of the Season, I think watching this helped me begin to find just a tiny bit of it, too. Love you guys!
Hope you guys had fun!
Dylan, we really did! And thank you and your parents for the Christmas card - we loved every picture! 🎄
Keep going Dan! You whipped the wheelchair around like you were going to drift around the corner 😮
Thanks, Chace! 😀
Fantastic ! ❤
Thanks! 😊
Dan, you are on a roll, lol, literally! We are so excited to see you cruising down the hallway. You’ve got this! Glad you all enjoyed a delicious Thanksgiving at The Pub. We were away in South Carolina. We missed our boys, but loved the warm weather and palmetto trees along the beach. Hope to see you both soon!
Us too! ❤️
Keep up the great work!
Thanks, Dylan!!
Dan you look cozy! Where are my cats?
Great vid as always!
@@Dylan-kw4ol Thank you, Dylan! And an early Merry Christmas! 🎄
Happy Vlogmas!
I love your advent calendar tradition. Every year I see them, I’d like to buy one, but I always remember too late in December. (We’ve been away for 3 weeks, just got home, and are trying to catch up with house things.) We’ll have to talk about crystals on the phone!
Isn’t advent and crystals sorta incompatible??
I don’t know - didn’t God create the crystals, in the end?
Which one? Krishna, Allah, Yahweh. Jesus, Buddha,zzzz
Aldi has some great ones with imported chocolate that are reasonable. I love the chocolate at Aldi.
I forgot to say : I love your videos
@@annikkencoughlin4127 Tgank you so much! 🌻
Hi Dan. How are you doing? I have been Christmas shopping and I am almost done with all my gifts. My mom and sister is coming to visits me from Norway. Hope all is well with and your lovely wife from Annikken
@@annikkencoughlin4127 Hi, Anniiken! ! It is so nice to hear from you. I showed Dan your message and he loved it. I am totally impressed that you are so far with your shopping! We have started, but are not that far. I am so glad that you will see your sister and Mom - family is everything at the holidays. Keep in touch! Love, Dan and Sharon
That’s fantastic!
It really worked - we were so surprised! 🍅
lol ! Sharon , you with the spider on the veil hat ! 😂. Dan , what is your favorite Halloween movie ? Do you guys watch the Charlie Brown Halloween special? Does your skeleton have a name ? 😂
Dan likes most horror movies; tge first Halloween is his favorite. I really should have bought that hat! 🎃
I think it would be great to have this same conversation with children as well. In doing so, they will have a better understanding at the age they are now, and when they grow up to be adults. ❤️
Ethan , help Sharon out, it looks like a very big job.
Hey!! lol! 🤣🤣🤣
Hope you guys have a great weekend!
You too, Dylan! How are you - what’s new?
@@DanandSharonErtz all is good how about you guys!?
Wow! That’s a lot bigger unit than an aerogarden! Does it come with a lighting fixture or do you need to place it near a large window?
It has two strips that are in front, facing the three columns that have LED lights. I’ll send you a pic of what it looks like when the lights are on!
This video really hits home. Your passion for in-home care and how it impacts families is powerful. Keeping loved ones at home makes such a difference. Thank you for sharing this heartfelt message - it’s not about politics, it’s about dignity. 💯👏 Excited for the next video!
America has an aging population. In-Home health care is the best model for providing for the medical needs in a safe and effective manner. We need to do more for our own citizens. You will not be fighting this battle alone…
Congrats of merch. I completely understand wanting laws in place to allow for people to stay in their home with the care they need. Facilities are always full and dealing with placements is a nightmare, not to mention comfort and peace of mind.
I agree 100 percent ! Having the right amount of quality care at home will prevent hospitalizations, improve outcomes and provide support to caregivers. If this is implemented Medicare will be spending less on hospitalizations as well. I would like to buy some merch!
Love the merch! hope you guys are well!
You too, Dylan! 🍁
Wow! You guys have been busy! Your decorations look great.,Love all the spooky spirit and also the hat photos. You two make the perfect royal couple. 👑 We are keeping busy with doctor appointments and short trips. We both just got our Covid and several days later, flu, vaccines. We’re getting ready for our 3rd trip since September, headed back to Assateague for more time with the wild ponies! No plans yet for Halloween, but we are hoping to be up north in the mountains to enjoy fall leaf peeping.
That all sounds wonderful! We are on deck for shots later in the week - yuck! We have a birthday party planned for our daughter, who just turned 30, and maybe a Halloween party later in the month. So nice to hear from you guys!!!! ❤️
He looks so happy !!!
@@LanaChurch-xs6rv Tgey have a great time together! 🐱
Thanks, Dan and Sharon, for sharing this new transfer technique! It’s incredible to see the creativity and care that goes into making sure Dan can enjoy different experiences safely. The beach setup looked fantastic, and I appreciate the emphasis on safety first-great advice for anyone considering new methods. Looking forward to more of your videos and learning about your journey!
@@Konik_editor Thank you! Welcome! 🌻
Love watching our guy, Gary, figuring things out for the betterment of mankind!!!
Us too! ❤️
At the gym there was a woman who often wore a shirt that said “shenanigans enthusiastic” I soooo wanted to ask her what shenanigans she was enthusiastic about but sadly I never did
I would have liked to know too! 🤣
This video is so heartwarming! It's wonderful to see the joy and love you both share, even after all these years. Your journey and resilience are truly inspiring, and it's touching to witness how much something as simple as a new bed can bring back so many cherished memories and feelings of togetherness. Your positivity and strength shine through, making us all feel a bit closer to our loved ones. Thank you for sharing these personal moments with us. Here's to many more nights of comfort, love, and happiness! ❤
Thank you!! ❤️
Sharon, who is the real bed hog? Is it you or Dan ? 😂😂😂. So happy for you both !
I’ll never tell!! lol! 🤣
Happy 39th Anniversary (in September)! What a joy to celebrate with a new bed and a renewed ability to snuggle & cuddle together!
It really is, thank you! Even better than we thought it would be! ❤️
So innovative and awesome! This type of transfer (with its simple & mobile equipment) really gives you options. It’s so wonderful to see Dan enjoying a beach chair at the water’s edge, one of life’s greatest pleasures for sure!
It really is! Ethan rocks. Therapists that volunteered for Life Rolls On that day were really impressed with the idea!
I like the butterfly wallpaper. I like how you were able to reclaim sleeping together. That is beautiful and special for couples. I never think abt the twin bed aspect. Good point.
Thank you so much! Happy to see your channel growing! ❤️
I’m so happy for you! Great News! Thanks for sharing. ❤
Thank you so much! ❤️ Welcome, again, to our channel!
Hey Dan hey Sharon
Hey! Nice to see you here! 🌻
A new subscriber from Just Rowan and Just Ruby. 💕💕😊💕💕
Thank you for subscribing! Its nice to see you here! 🍓❤️🌻
I hope you have great weather!
So cool, and excellent teamwork!
You are like a shark with a freakin laser beam. 😂 What food is Dan mostly looking forward to trying? Speaking from experience, You will want to avoid rice, eggs, and cereal at first. Your speech therapist will better outline his personal limitations. Best of luck!
Thank you! I think beer, and steak, are at the top of the list. Thanks for the tips - this is all new! 🌻
4/5 not too shabby… how many curse words does Dan spell out??????
Mostly he is pretty well-behaved, but he does get out a dad joke or two! 🤣
Awesome Dan, Keep it up! I'm happy to see you moving.
Thanks! Will do! 🌻
Hey Chace! Keep an eye out - we bought some of your merch, and will be wearing it in our next video! Love your logo!
@@DanandSharonErtz SOUNDS GREAT! THANK YOU GUYS SO MUCH. Y'ALL ARE AWESOME
Sharon I feel for you and Dan. Unfortunately decisions and policies are made by accountants and not those administering care. Not to defend Magee but if three people dropped out of appointments in one day and 4 folks were left with nothing to do it would not be economically feasible for them to run the business for they are not compensated for the time of those employees. Your circumstances are extraordinary and I’m sure the average therapy patient does not have them and these circumstances should be taken under consideration. You are doing the right thing by finding therapy that is more user friendly but are you sacrificing quality of care. When I had my knee replaced I went to Penn medicine in Philly because my research proved them the best. It was out of the way and inconvenient but I wanted the best. Sometimes to get the best sacrifices must be made. Btw even my dentist sends 10 text reminders for an appointment these days. Magee does not??
@@alpep1307 I am looking for alternatives, and believe me when I tell you that Dan will not suffer for quality of care. Penn is on my list! But I also believe that the need for care is on a continuum; not every patient is a Dan. If you want to be in this business, you need to balance the Dans with the Sharon’s; the hard, with the easy. Not everyone is hard, some are easier, and that comes into play. In our defense, our insurance pays on the dime and always has. Magee can bill them whether we show or not. If insurance stops paying, we will - there is no greater priority than Dans therapy. So I don’t understand the problem here, and that leads me back to the level of complexity of Dans case as being the problem.
@@DanandSharonErtz unfortunately health care is a for profit entity and accountants rule as opposed to the need for care.
Thank you Sharon for your determination to always move forward with Dan's care. You are both such amazing influences in all our lives ❤ .
🎉 congratulations
Thanks, Chace! We really appreciate your support!! ❤️
Congrats on 500
Thanks, Dylan! We are grateful that you have been in and participating in the channel since the beginning! ❤️
Congratulations Dan and Sharon! We love following your channel, have learned a lot and have laughed a bit too. We can’t wait to see where you take the channel now that you’ve hit 500! We loved the video at the end, amazing to look back at your journey. You both have accomplished so much! Keep going! We love you!
Awesome! Thank you! We were thinking of you guys and your support several times through the video!
So close to that 500 subs threshold
Yes! We are super excited. Thank you for your support! ❤️
I’ve used whiskey as mouthwash at one point in my life…. Kidding… crazy world
I imagine Dan has too, back in the day. 🤣 CRAZY WORLD IS RIGHT, lol! Looking forward to the farmers market this week!! ❤️
