    If you think she's an inspiration from what was discussed in this video, it barely scratched the surface of this lady. Add to this six gold medals in the Athens and Sydney paralympic games, numerous world records and a member of team Canada wheelchair basketball. You can do your own reading on her being an honorary colonel, her honorary doctorate and numerous other accessibility causes.

      Seven yrs ago you did a video on a couple named Scott and Yolanda. One of your best videos ever! How to find out what they are doing now? They lived in an Airstream, he ex cop who had an epinity on a trip to India. Yolanda was already finished with there house, chasing the dollar and they gave every thing up, became nomads and are/were extremely happy. Just stumbled on that video again and soooo wonder where they are. An update. You liked them along also and if you don't already know you would live to. ??❤❤??

      @@charofheart37 May be of interest to you. I was diagnosed with Fibromyalgia too, and shortly after, Ulcerative Colitis. I was prescribed a drug medication for the U.C. to which my body reacted badly, so my Doctor, who was South African trained, suggested I try Curcumin (the active ingredient in Turmeric) as it is widely used in South Africa as an anti-inflammatory. I did so and it not only drastically reduced my U.C. but totally rid me of the broad pains associated with the Fibromyalgia. I am personally convinced that Fibromyalgia is an inflammatory disease. Turmeric, and its active component Curcumin, are a natural anti-inflammatory and no prescription is required. Hope it helps. from Australia.

    I've been wondering if I can do this myself as a little person and with disabilities. I think maybe I can. That drop down pantry shelf, your bedside lifter and the lift to get into the van are practical and efficient tools that could make it possible for me too! Thanks for sharing to both of you!✌️
