You’re a lovely person, it’s not a surprise you’re had a many friends … I watch al your vlogs, and you’re felt like a friend for me to in my hard times to live in a wheelchair and for many I for sure…

[@RobertRees-o3l]

Hey Brittney, you're a friend to so many people in wheelchairs who live in isolated parts of the world including me. You make our lives so much better, thanks heaps 👍😊

100% Britt agree with you when it comes to finding friends that are in wheelchairs. It’s enriched my life so much in the last 2.5 years to where I’d never look back. I encourage anyone with any kind o& disability to find peers that you can relate to, it makes life so much better.

[@EmpoweredPara]

Soooo much better!

@@EmpoweredPara it’s like when I found your channel, you opened a new world for me. It encouraged me to seek friendships with other gimps and my life is richer for it.

That is why I started following you. I have 3 friends with disabilities, and 2 live far away from me. And as I have gotten older I find that need for a community that gets me more necessary.

[@EmpoweredPara]

That's my goal here; to build an awesome community of people that get me! Thanks for being a part if it!

An excellent portrayal of a similar day in my life.. It's hard to convey to others how we have to plan our day and adapt to situations as they arise. Thank you once again.. (Phil - Para - UK)

Cool glasses! 🎉🎉🎉

[@westiepower2020]

First time you brought up Peeing Anywhere, it seemed a lil odd. But once you explained why and how, now it just makes perfect sense. It is NOT gross, it seems perfectly natural. And since so many places can't seem to get on board on making their bathrooms truly accessible, and more places now have put up signs saying "not a public bathroom", your method seems all the better. Your core strength seems to be getting stronger. And we think having more freedom is great!

[@westiepower2020]

We weren’t expecting a video so close to Christmas, so a Special Thank You! You’re still using a Rental SUV?? That sucks. I freak out every time I lose/misplace my iPhone - you are much calmer and trusting than me. Using a catheter isn’t fun, but not having to look for an accessible clean bathroom, makes things a lil better. Sort of. That’s a lot of pee. OMG - a broken lift - you are so calm. It is wonderful that you have great neighbours! And that Santa Hat looks great on you - I gotta go look for my “very appealing” Reindeer Antlers. Merry Christmas Brittney!

[@EmpoweredPara]

Yeah it's been an interesting few months with my lift breaking more than once and getting rear ended!

[@westiepower2020]

@@EmpoweredPara You look annoyed, yet you seem to take it in stride. I’m more of a “get pissed off and curse a lot, and maybe throw something”. I applaud your ability to handle situations better than me. You are emotionally strong. Are you going to have to look for a replacement lift?

[@EmpoweredPara]

@@westiepower2020 Calling them tomorrow

[@westiepower2020]

⁠@@EmpoweredParaSounds like a great plan! We don’t like to think of you ever being vulnerable. May we assume that there was no snow in your backyard? We added a lil feature to access our gate from the outside. We hope that you can get your lift problem resolved so that it will work flawlessly for many years to come!!

[@lorrainewalters-bq1xr]

Thank you, have a great Christmas ❤

Happy Holidays!

[@ryanmuir4819]

Wow, I can't believe you're still driving the rental vehicle. I thought your van was only supposed to be in the shop after the accident for 30-some days. Hope you're enjoying that Terrain though... my Mom has one exactly the same and loves it. In regards to the porch lift, I have one of those at the front of my house too, that I brought over from my old house where I moved from, a couple months ago and it has had a few glitches as well. I have yet to try it out again since my Dad welded a new piece on the little ramp/gate mechanism. I also have a ramp too as this is the house I grew up in since I was 17. Anyways, I'm so glad you got to get out and have a great time with your "wheely peeps". I would love to find some local friends who have physical disabilities like I do, here in Northern Ontario.

[@buster531000]

Merry Christmas from Ontario pretty Lady.

Peeing in the car is the best, I'm sitting on a Roho cushion, toilet seats are hard. Run seat all the way back, tilt back a ways and the rest is easy peasy lemon squeezey.😂

another amazing video Brittney loved it, and your face was a picture when the lift went off. 😂 hope you Joe and the kids have a wonderfull christmas. 🥳🥂

Do they have that service where you can go online and order and they bring it out to your car? I love doing it with basic food, paper products cleaners etc but not so much with fruits, vegetables or meat.

[@EmpoweredPara]

We do yes, but you have to order a few days on advance which I didn't do lol

@@EmpoweredPara a few days? Here we can order and have it ready in a couple of hours. I love that service so much it really helps so I don’t always have to get the wheelchair out.
