Bathroom Transfers for Wheelchair Users!

[@karimhalim3199]

Respect to her for still helping people

[@philiprowland9390]

Super helpful for a recent new wheelchair user - Thank you!

[@onqsoft]

Great Kathryn! Love that you share so others can benefit. I am a quad and have written a book "Triumphant Ride" on how to persevere and succeed regardless of one's trials and tribulations. Much empowerment to you!

[@melissabrasington4635]

Thank you so much for making this. I'm a t6 complete, only 11 months post accident, but I really miss traveling. I was even considering a Mitrofanoff procedure, but if I can get as good as you are with transfers, it should be ok.

[@PKed]

new paraplegic here, and this helped a ton thank you! glad I came across this video

[@dannylaw7367]

You affect this world perhaps more than you think. You make me realize that I'm so lucky to have most things in my body work well for many years now. I'm grateful for the low number of disabilities I have to overcome or deal with. One day soon a great miracle in medicine will change your life.

[@JeffWilsonlaw]

I love all of your videos Kathryn. You are truly inspirational. I am recently wheelchair bound as a result of spinal stenosis. I purchased hand controls for my car (after watching your video) and they work just fine. My question is, which wheelchair do you use and how did you choose it? I don't think the wheels come off of mine. Thanks again for your great videos.

[@jonathanfreedom1st]

I have spinal Stenosis and didn't know that it gets that entirely bad??

[@iu115]

This was perfect. My son is 9 years old and I can show him this so he knows how he’ll do this when he gets older. THANK YOU for posting this.

Thank u for this my 19 year old sister was just shot four times by an ex boyfriend and I’m just trying to prepare for how to take care of her when she comes home

Omg, I am so sorry to hear that. I hope your sister is able to find the courage to live the best life she can. Thanks for being there for her. I wish you both the best.

[@aegirthorgalson]

You are a brave and beautiful girl. I am full of admiration for your optimism, which you could teach the rest of the complaining society. You show practically how you solve your problems. You don't break down and most people do just that. I greet you and send hugs virtually from Poland😘🇵🇱

[@FranciscoAlves-fi8cz]

I really liked the transfers, congratulations.

Excellent video kathryn....There's always a way to get things done....I'll go back and check the other videos you've posted.....👍

Sou Cadeirante há 21anos,no Brasil tudo é difícil,comprar uma boa cadeira é muito caro! Andar nas ruas ném pensar. Adoro seus vídeos. Bjos.

Rehab, had some fun with my rehab nurses during the training for release day, transfers were easy so one told me its more difficult when you are naked, I quipped you didn't have to get me in the bathroom to get me naked, boy did she blush, by the time it got to bed transferring she and her partner were across the room, I told them I didn't bite, I was well known to have a pretty dark sense of humor, coping mechanism due to my surgery didn't go as planned, MRSA outbreak in triage, I was left infected at rehab with a doc trying to cover it up, I had gotten quite sick, so when I finally made it back to rehab after my second surgery, I was very difficult. I was caught outside the building rolling around on the sidewalks building my strength back up, being in a hot pink chair I was not hard to miss, its the best thing you can do to get ready to go home, build up your ability to push the chair, find your technique. Bathroom is best with a roll around shower chair, tho I did enjoy a bench over a traditional tub, shoot off the bench into the tub and sit the bench out and you can take a bath, put the bench back in and you can lift yourself back on it with a rail and the lip of the tub, fold down bench is best as it lifts out of the way. If you get spasms that refuse all oral treatments you can get a baclofen pump, it can totally wipe out spasms, but activity must be limited, as in no leaning and twisting, like wrenching on vehicles, the motion of changing a tire can flip the pump and cause some serious damage, leading to surgery to fix it, guess how I know.

Newby here not gonna suger coat it this is a night mare! I still dream that I walk and then I wake up! You have inspired me and I thank you for that!may GOD keep all his wheel warriors STRONG ,and ready!! GOD bless all of us! AMEN???!🌟🌟

[@dennishein2812]

Hang in there life gets better. It will get easier to do things as you learn what works for you.

[@Maples01]

Wait 20+ years and NO, it does not get better, you just learn to accept it and move on, things will worsen with age, takes about a year for your body to adjust, where you know the dos and don't, keep your eye out for pressure sores.

i love your content i really hope u can start uploading a lot more :)

[@dennysoinski4287]

Hi Kathryn. What is the make and model of your wheelchair? Where did you purchase it? Eventually, I will be totally wheelchair-bound and don't have a good idea regarding the kind of wheelchair I should possibly look into. Thank you and I love your videos!

[@KyleLeeuw]

Wow you’re amazing ❤ I have spina bifida so these videos help me with my disability issues!

[@mohammedabdullah9501]

You are the most beautiful person I've seen in and out. I can relate to your disability a little bit. Although my legs aren't fully paralyzed. I have this disability called spina bifida. Which is a birth defect. I have no sensation down my foot all the way up to my ankle. Although I can move them a little bit. My right leg is a little worst than the other. I use one crutch to move around. I can walk to anywhere I want. But can't drive. Atleast not yet. I am still working on that. And I have a shunt on the back of my head. A while back I got my shunt replaced with a new one. I can ride a bike, make my way back to where I need to be. Living pretty much a normal life. Alhumdullilah.

[@burningbeard]

Its much harder if you are wet from wash or if you have soap in your hands!!!! I understand you completely. Its routine for us (disabled people) but sometimes we do mistakes too.

[@arabbzoor4948]

I love your entry 🤣💖

[@sydneyfowlerz261]

[@audreyh777]

Geez you're so pretty.

[@ethantylerr91]

This video is great, i have balance issues therefor I use an electric wheelchair and I’m starting to have trouble with getting on the toilet and showering, my bathroom is just like that but the wall needs work (already in conversation to get get taken out) Again thanks for the tip :)

[@eMDiKhamPha]

What type of wheelchair and shower chair do you have? I have the typical shower chair instead of the sliding one like yours. I need a wheelchair soon and I want one like yours without the arm rest, hindering my transfer into the bath tube instead of the typical one

[@amcgoo1135]

They don’t make those shower benches very stable🤦🏻😬 I was scared the first time I got on one.

[@idavidsawyers4231]

You are very beautiful and inspiring young lady and I see in the future that you will walk again I believe in miracles and in God any dads have a plan for you and part of that plan is a miracle that you will walk again I truly believe

[@Maples01]

If you hit your ankle on that chair you will cause a sore that will end up in amputation, it is impossible to heal, you need be extremely careful.

[@thewhitefeather332]

Salute ur life struggle🙏

[@thebanjoman1963]

My wife recently had incomplete spinal cord damage from a failed spinal implant surgery that caused a blood clot that left her with limited movement in left leg and almost none in her right. She's currently in rehab and we'll find out what she is capable of doing. I'm trying to learn how and what I can do for her. She's 67 and I don't know what is in store for her now. Thank you for sharing.

[@ursem2428]

Тут этой девушке немного лет и не большой вес,но даже сейчас видно что ей очень сложно самой себя обслуживать,даже поход в туалет это сложность...Я просто сталкивался с этим,и если девушка в таком состоянии это ужас,а если ещё заболеет,то всё.. Тут видно что есть деньги,что даёт возможность иметь авто и другие вещи что очень помогает ей..

[@davidbutterworth5541]

Must be more difficult when wet and can easily slip. Do spasms start when your wet ?

[@rhileycruz2168]

@David Butterworth I have a T4 injury and it is really hard when wet. My spasms happen at random times. It doesn’t matter what I’m doing it can happen whenever and that’s why I take certain pills to help with the spasms! They don’t completely stop them though.

[@amirsahabi9208]

god bless you and all those like you. you are so strong as a person

[@mattduskins1134]

So even after you still have control over your bathroom breaks I know this injury effects everyone differently

Have you considered trying a foam seat cushion for your w/c vs the air cushion? Provided that your skin can tolerate a good quality foam seat cushion it might be easier to transfers to and from a firmer surface vs the Roho seat cushion. Good video.

[@raytalbot5890]

People build up strength in the areas they need as time moves on, right after any accident you have no idea what’s what & how you will cope, that’s why they tell you at rehab you need lots of things. You still have a paddled seat on you wc at home? 🇬🇧🇬🇧👍👍

how could you get poop if you don't have feelings or control to poop ? 🤔

How do you wipe your behind if you have to go to the restroom? How do you wash your behind when you are in the shower?

[@DavidAskvig]

How do you prevent water spilling out when the chair is half in and half out of the bath? The curtains can’t fully close. That’s been our problem. Thanks!

Sorry if this is an ignorant question but how do you know if you have to go to the bathroom if you have no feeling?

[@idavidsawyers4231]

You are very beautiful inspiring young lady and I don't think God's plan what's for you to be paralyzed like you are I see you walking in the future I see God creating a miracle for everyone else to see and believe in I believe in God I believe it's his power and I do truly believe you will walk again God has the power as long as you believe amen

[@melissabrasington4635]

As much as pray for healing, I am also a realist. I don't think you should say things like this because it's a false hope. I've researched so much, trying to find an example of someone who could walk normally after paralysis. I couldn't find one that was a success story. Be careful about telling people that God will heal them. Yes, miracles happen, but the spinal cord doesn't grow back together.
