- ♿️IM SHOWING HOW I DO MY HOUSEWORK IN MY WHEELCHAIR. IM SHOWING YOU ALL MY HANDY TIPS TO MAKING IT MORE COMFORTABLE WHEN YOU HAVE A SPINAL CORD INJURY OR LIMITED MOBILITY .
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.

How about food shopping?
@@laurahelgerson4685 Shaun usually does it, it he coudnt do it I would do it online. ButI am planning to show how I do a mini shop. or if you cant wait. check this one out!! ua-cam.com/video/vyY7p9EX6g8/v-deo.html
@@Wheelsnoheels how about make up tutorial or your everyday look, for give me for asking too much am on electric wheelchair too 🥰
When I got to wipe my wheels off I use a lot more room...but I am in a power chair. Also the caregiver does most of the cleaning.
Ly
I always watch you from the morning I wake till I go bed at night.
These are all fantastic tips.
My other tip would be for ambulatory wheelchair users. Even if you are going to be sitting in a regular chair, consider bringing your wheelchair cushion to help you be more comfortable. (I do this for meetings at school and concerts. )
I would love to see some grocery shopping tips and scrub cleaning like the bathroom tub! I don't much use my chair inside the house but struggle with both of those tasks. (Groceries are extra hard as I dont have much lap - my tummy is pretty big after 3 kids. )
Thank you for the tips! I'm not disabled but I am mobility challenged. Your tips and tricks will save me so many spoons.
Mobility challenged in government rules would list you as disabled for things like adaptations and stuff
@@ecologist_to_be, not in the US unfortunately. I fit inside that Catch-22 area. Disabled enough to not be able to do work I'm qualified for but not disabled enough to qualify for disability to gain access to things such as that. I do what I can with what I can.
I have MS and can still walk short distances and stand but not for more than a couple minutes at a time. I use a wheele walker around the house that I can sit on. I do have to use my wheelchair outside of the house. The amount of adaptations that I’ve had to do is crazy but your channel is so inspiring and I get lots of great tips on how to live smarter. Thanks Gem 🥰 I’m newer to wheelchair life and it’s been a hugely emotional journey but I’m so glad I found you! ♥️🇨🇦
I can empathize totally as I'm in almost exactly the same situation.
Me too just losing my limited mobility. Strength is such an issue with MS too 💗
This was very informative. I always wondered how people in wheelchairs manoeuvred around to do tasks like these. Now I know. Also, you had me cracking up in this video.
gelasjams half you enjoyed it. X
I don't use a wheelchair yet but I do have ehlers danlos syndrome and I found these very helpful!
Thank you,that video was filled with some practical information!
Thanks SO much! I loved thia this video! I am not in a wheelchair however both my mom and myself have chronic conditions, and could benefit from this video greatly! I have a spinal disorder that i needed surgery for and deal with chronic pain and mobility issues. This video had some great ideas!👍🏽😊♥️
How do you avoid damaging furniture, walls etc with your chair? I'm constantly banging into mine especially when really low on energy!!!
I know for me getting a washer dryer was God send as means I don't need to move wet washing when it is heavy. I have the tiniest kitchen known to man but purchased a counter top dishwasher. 👏🏻👏🏻 I also have a robot vaccum and tidy john reachers which are great for that extra bit of reach without the awkwardness of the full length grabbers.
The gripoz (pink push rims) really help with scuffs. upstairs there are alot of scuffs. There is dammage in the house. I think its inevitable. but we have made the house nice and easy for me to get around. (which you can see in my house tour) :)
On corner on my wall put rubber guard or any where I hit wall . put pastic guard on wall too. It like some hospital do.
@@laurahelgerson4685 i need some kind of hardcore material for my door frames I think haha
Thanks for this,I have limited mobility and struggle with housework.
Some great ideas here,although floor transfers are too difficult for me.
I remember you mentioning the washing basket trick a while ago and it makes transporting washing downstairs sooo much easier! I hadn't ever thought of using the bag that lined my basket until you said - Game Changer! xx
Sooo helpful!! Thank you for sharing! I met someone who had a necklace with tiny spoons! I’m so jealous of your dishwasher!
This video is so amazing! I never thought about pulling up sideways to reach counters. I have always been reaching head-on which leaves me in so much pain. I will definitely try to sit sideways the next time I do dishes! I really appreciate your tips and tricks for getting things done. Time to check ebay for a good lap basket!!
UA-cam randomly recommended this and I came here just to thumbs you up 'coz good on you! Keep at it! :o)
Thank you for making this video, this will help me a lot as I was straining my back so bad. You have a great personality that inspires to be productive, positive and smiling, thank you. God bless.
Hi Gem, I have two suggestions to help your access to the dishwasher. One possibility is to swap the locations of the dishwasher and tumble drier. Wouldn't be too difficult with the plumbing etc. The other is to move the washing machine back a couple of inches. Once again, not as difficult as it might at first seem. Cut the wall away a bit. Nobody sees it and it won't make the house fall down. Either way may help. You are clearly good at lateral thinking so I am sure you could oversee the task while your favourite handyman does the heavy stuff!
You are a rockstar! I am grateful for my dishwasher drawer, steamer for floors and shower cleaning, cordless Dyson, and reachers in most rooms. I even keep one behind my seat when I shop. I have an electric wheelchair as I have MS. The rise and tilt features are awesome for reaching but during the learning curve I have managed to destroy our woodwork and even a few cupboards. Repair tips or wood protection items would be an appreciated video. Thanks for your share.
thankyou so much love love all your tictocs xo
I have a grabber, reacher tool that comes in very handy for picking up stuff off the floor from my wheelchair. It also graeat for reaching things up high.
good luck and happiness to you baby.
Hello 👋 from down under I love 💕 your videos and you explain things so good I just want you to know that you are helping me with learning how to be in a wheelchair thank you and god bless you and your family
Gem, you are such an inspiration thank you, so encouraging.
I've bought stainless steel dishes, and they're lightweight and fall safe.
Because I'm moew weighted than you, I've bought a washer dryer all in one, where I put dirty clothes before to sleep and I dress my warm and dry clothes in the morning.
Under the washing machine there is a drawer for clothes, that rise the opening of washing machine at a good height for my back.
As I'm single man, I get used to reduce chores as much as possible, washing machine is in the bathroom the everyday clothes are stored in the bathroom and I keep what I need when doing the morning bathroom routine.
hugs from italy
Mauro
You ARE totally a rockstar!!!
This was super useful! Thank you ❤️
Keep up the good work. Much love.
Thank you so much! Your videos are always such a great help to me :-)
Lara Gaggin so pleased to hear that. X
Very helpful. Thanks! I can still walk a bit at present, but that ability seems to be rapidly disappearing, so I was wondering how I will cope from my wheelchair...Now I know! (Provided the arms keep working!)
I remember requesting if you could do a vid like this days ago but somehow missed the notification. Thank for posting. I do the laundry down the stairs like you with one exception. The drawstring let's loose 50% of the time lol. Get to collect laundry on stair treads. My keys thing is different. I put mine on a lanyard, easier to keep up with and pick up when I drop them. Thanks for your tips.
Great with the dishwasher! When I move in about a month I’ll have a full size dishwasher in a cupboard space like that which means a lower work height than my current which is a small countertop dishwasher, and I should be able to get my chair into the kitchen too which I can’t really do today as I need to keep the cat litter box in front of the kitchen door as I have nowhere else to put it at the moment lol
Liking your videos👍 I have mobility issues and my dishwasher has a comfort lift hinge - so the bottom swings out and stays at the top. It has been a life saver! Just watched your wardrobe tour, great idea about the cubby holes, thanks 😃
I bought a robot vacuum game changer
I Hope, you don't mind . But I have a suggestion. About the best to keep your keys
I think the best place would be your bag( purse). That way, you just grab it! and go
My Husband teases me but I have a sturdy wooden bench in my kitchen.Not only can I stand on it so as to not hurt myself by extending but I use it to sit while emptying the dishwasher,cleaning the fridge or washing a ton of stuff by hand if my pain gets too high.I also have everything everywhere in baskets,especially in the bathroom.The cat even has one by the door so when she loses a toy under the couch we can quickly give her a replacement.
Nice done! As always! I put my both - in - one spatula to enlarge my monkey - long arms. My arms are very long but sometimes l need some extra length. And l can grip a sponge etc to wash and clean anything wide out of my fields. I use a pick up for paper etc to pick up what lays on the ground if not too heavy.When l do my dishes into or out of the mashine l love to drive ancled to the mashine: a bit from the side, abit from strhight to it, so one leg is on the isde. Then l can grap all what's in without th need of bending myself. I hate to put my clothes in hight of childrens, so l use my picker, too. It always is behind my back where you can put crutches or so. So it's to hand if needed. Can't you store a basket in every room for your living persons there to use them but the floor? My son was 3 when we got a new dog. The first we loved and do love till etrnity passed away a few days bevOre and e noticed we didn't want to live without a dog! So l told him he had to never ever led something on the floor exept he hah to build up to play with cause we wowld not know what dog we 'd get. When our Luna came in she didn't know anything although 8 month oldand after two disarranged toys of him my son knew that to led it on the ground and not to close the door was no good idea! Then l told him l'm not his slave and it orks till now. He's 19 now and the floor is not for things but my edge at my hammock l love to be lazy in. And to get in and out l made a swivveled - hook into my ceiling and put a fat rope through. There l can hang on to help me to come in and out. For my legs l use a gymnastics rubber band to lay around my footsole and hold it both sides in one hand or two to swing it in and out. . Same l dowhen want to lay on a sofa. Makes things so easy for me! Yes, we are different and l know what l use to do needn't fit to yow but l wanted you to tell how l do this. Perhaps there is an extra tip for you? Wound be nice! Last: sometimes l 'd like to be a bit taller as 1,76 m. You know. In a chair it relativel'… then l push myself to higher place onto my armleaner of my chair. Don't know if yow have one, your chair is different to mine but for all who have and are able to it might be a good idea.
So. Be blessed and, please, go on with your fantastic tips!
I have an obsession with baskets too. Everything in my cupboards is in baskets because, as somebody very short, I can't reach far back on the shelves. It's also easier for putting things back in their place and saves me wasting precious energy making a million trips around the house when putting things away. I'm not a wheelchair user, but I do have chronic health issues that affect my mobility, so your tips we're very helpful for me too. Another thing I do is sit down to do some chores like food preparation.
Yes. Baskets are so handy. The grey ones in this video are from Tesco, and really affordable. x
I have MS just getting some inspiration, thank you! How do you get upstairs, do you have a chair up there too? Have you tried a power chair?
How do you make a bed when you are in a wheelchair like me. And what is that purple thing behind your sofa because I am after one
Great video! I wish I had a dishwasher! My husband is my dishwasher. And he built platforms to put the washer and dryer on so I can wheel right up to them and transfer from one to the other, which is great. Our washer and dryer are in the bathroom so it was easier to build a platform because it wasn't under a counter. A suggestion would be vacuuming/hoovering, and any tips you might have on that. I found a vacuum that has a ball swivel so it can twist and turn in a lot of directions, which keeps me from having to move around as much.
I'm thinking of getting a stick vacuum that converts to handheld.
@@ChrisPage68 I looked at stick vacuums and seriously considered them, but we have two dogs. One of them is a Newfoundland who sheds a lot of hair, and I just didn't think the stick could keep up. We also have sand, so it makes things challenging. If not for that, I would totally have gotten the stick
@@BirchLeafPhotography I can understand.
Birch Leaf Photography ah cool. It’s good that we can all work as a team and do what we need to. We have a Dyson rollerball Hoover (as we bindi) but there is no way I can manage it. It’s way to heavy!!! So Shauno does the hoovering. Have you seen the bot hoovers? That vacuum on their own? Probably expensive, and not too good with dog hair though??
@@Wheelsnoheels i have a robot vacuum. They great for inbetween cleans. I have 6 parrots and it cleans up most of their feathers seeds wood etc but you still need to do proper cleans. My robot cost £300 but i with dirty birds it was worth it as otherwise I'd of had to pay for cleaner 7 days a week instead of the 2 lol
Does hubby clean the floor? I'm on my Todd here. At present I use my 10 minute walking ability to get the job done..but I lose a bit each week.
Mopping is horrendous- I keep leaving wheel tracks everywhere 🤦🏻♀️
Start at the furthest end of the room and work your way backwards towards the door, that way it can dry without getting wheel marks on the floors.
Hello Ma'am love to see you
Get in Gem! 😂 Vacuuming in my wheelchair 🦽 can be such a giggle if I forget to put the brakes on (it’s good core exercise if you can do them) For those that have curtains I use either a walking stick or an easy reach/grabber to pull them closed. PS do you like the new 👩🏻🦽👨🏼🦼🦿🦼🦽 people with disabilities emojis? 🤗🤗
Hey hey!!! I would die if i did the hoovering. It would put me out for weeks!!! I havent done the update yet. But from what Ive seen on them, the look amazing. I finally have a Gemoji!!!
Wheelsnoheels - Gem Hubbard it’s definitely a workout 🥵 Yes there’s a gememoji with your beautiful blonde hair.... only just realised that there’s no red headed emojis 🧐😁 even though there’s no red head I’m so glad there’s more diversity coming thru 🤗🥰🤗
I do something similar
I got a question what brand is your wheel chair? I llove style you have. It one travel with all the time.
here is some more information about it ua-cam.com/video/CTrI-QwgTdw/v-deo.html If you google Motioncomposite, and my chair is vloce
Thank you I love it.
I let know and show you my new wheel chair.
Alternatively : get yourself a Helping Hand grabber to pick things off the floor, use a mug tree for your most-used mugs placed by your kettle, and get a cleaner who will work cash-in-hand. 👍😉 Also, save money and electricity and hang clothes on an airer by a radiator. And don't buy a dishwasher.
PageMonster fab tips! Thank you x
@@Wheelsnoheels When I get my kitchen rebuilt, I'll have a height-adjustable sink, cupboards with baskets that come down to me, etc. Can't wait to do some actual cooking, after all these years of microwave meals!
PageMonster oh wow that’s so exciting!!! One day. When I “make it” I’ll design my dream kitchen ❤️
@@Wheelsnoheels I have by no means "made it" - it's paid for via a Disabled Facilities Grant from my council. There is absolutely no way I could afford it otherwise. 😂
Why cash in hand? Sounds dodgy! What about taxes? I pay £10 a week for my cleaner to do basic tasks just so house doesn't turn into a cesspit. Then another £13 a week for another cleaner who helps with my parrots cage. lol
Jist had great idea saun does your housework like u show how hard and time consuming it is to other less helpful supportive husbands/parntner friends etc (minds great not u babe haha disclaimer there)
Lol I never make the bed, useless since I don’t care and why do so when I can just go out to work and when I get home I’m in my room and I just sont care lol, but awesome vid
You could teach my roommate a thing or two they use their disability as an excuse .they are just lazy.😢
fantastic video I will use some of those tips and nice booty
not all disabled people can get down on the floor from their chair
Fi this is very true. I tried to add some alternatives, but I wanted to show how I do things. X
She's showing how she does it and giving tips for those in similar situations... she's not saying this is how every disabled person should do it!!!
Yes that’s very true, I can’t get to the floor from my powerchair.
5:00 You're doing well, but please stop tooting your own horn. :-)
8:10 I remember the late Jaquie Beckwith from Chronically Jaquie having taught her dog to clean up his own stuff.
