As someone with a mental disability (autism) I enjoy your content so much. I thank you for raising awareness and showing others that disabled people can still do so much more than what some people realize and, how disabled people are still capable of having a positive attitude. I look forward to seeing more of your content.

[@texasrefugee7888]

Glad your feeling better Chelsea❤

[@realchelseabear]

thank you so much! it was rough lol

[@JustifyingT]

Hey Lady, fellow independent queen with cerebral palsy here. I definitely do all this in my scooter lol. It might be a little different for me though since I can’t walk independently at all, but one thing we’re going to do is find a hack lol. Keep up the great work

[@meteach1]

You are so pretty both inside and out CB!!! Love your blogs!!!!

[@realchelseabear]

Thank you so much!!

[@harleyironhead7090]

very glad you're feeling better

[@videobiker9131]

Model strut: 10 out of 10. As usual, it’s a pleasure to watch you demonstrate your life. I have arthritis and so I suffer some of the same things that you do. I’m also tall and do my laundry laundromat with the challenges that go with that. Thank you for your positive attitude and your wonderful videos

[@GregfromPhilly]

Great video! I've had CP all my life (I am 62), and still live independently on my own. I do laundry in a similar fashion. And yes, some piece of laundry always falls on the floor, LOL! In fact, I invested in a gripper for every room in my condo. That way, I always have one handy whenever and wherever I need it.

[@olditguy]

Awesome, I do laundry in a similar way, I will definitely be investing in a hamper with wheels. I have CP myself, so thanks for the tip. Would like to see how you handle house work. I would recommend the Roomba vacuum robot. Love the model sturt model walk 🔥

[@realchelseabear]

yes highly recommend the rolling hamper! I hope it helps :) I have the roomba and love it! but sometimes use a regular vacuum too to get certain areas. and thank you!! :) :)

[@diecast_MikeEspo]

Awesome that your doing better , God Bless .

[@davidmahan4160]

Sorry to hear you've been unwell Chelsea, but glad to see you well again. It's a shame there's not enough room in the closest to put the washer and drier raised up and side by side. Good to have you back 😊👍

[@drd6416]

You're inspirational no matter what! And I have it easier because I have had stroke, of course I adapted and treat myself as if I'm not getting any better (however I'm positive i am) just to adapt and improvise and overcome.

[@brianlykins6663]

WHAT, you mean a flu bug was foolish enough to attack a life force such as yours !!!? Seriously, I am glad you are feeling better and well enough to take your trip. Im sure your parents and family were glad to see you. I trust your upcoming trip will be everything you and your sister hope it will be. Have fun and enjoy. God bless you, young lady, for sharing your life with us. You have got to be one of the most positive and dynamic people that I've seen. I hope in some way you know what a positive influence you are with your viewers that have challenges in life. God bless you in all you do. Stay safe on your travels, and hope to see that beautiful smile again soon.

[@realchelseabear]

wow a 10/10 rating! i wasn't expecting that hahaha thank you so much!! :)

[@danielleshanti]

I hate doing laundry too! Ours is in our garage, and we have a bench in front to help with the bending and getting things from the back. (I have a grabber for getting things from higher cupboards in the kitchen. I should get a second one for laundry.) I really recommend laundry sheets. Not only are you not buying plastic, and mostly water, but they're also a lot lighter and come in premeasured sheets. Much easier than jugs! There are lots of brands out there now that will definitely have the free and clear type.

How lucky is your brother to have such a brilliant role model in life.

[@videobiker9131]

@@realchelseabear you are very welcome. And thank you.

[@rawnoob2143]

Very helpful video! I feel like your grabber can't help with the most difficult part- transferring heavier wet garments like sweatshirts from the washer below to the dryer on top. It is good for handling the socks that could fall when you're transferring dry clothes from the dryer to your hamper though.

I'd like to see how you clean your house like the walls mopping vacuuming that kind of thing to see how you have to adapt to cleaning cooking laundry just whatever you think is is what you would like to do I enjoy watching you awesome person

all great ideas! thank you for letting me know, I'll aim to start recording more of these everyday things I do!

[@dobermanpac1064]

😁😁😁 At 73 I think I’ll use wheels and the grabber 😅

Those organisers for laundry was genius! Did they come with the hamper?

[@Confused_Philosopher]

You mide consider getting a flodable rolling chair with brakes for loading and unloading your laundry.

I don't think I'll complain again about having to do laundry. LOL Do you drive? Maybe you can do a video on how you drive your own vehicle and all that's involved with that.

[@realchelseabear]

LOL! yes I drive! great idea. I'll plan to make a video about that

Hi Chelsea my name is Shauntaye I have mild cerebral palsy too I live in Texas I am new to your channel unfortunately I don’t drive. I try though

[@MarkK395]

Missed you Chelsea! 🙂Glad you’re feeling better! Would a small stool to step on help you with the dryer? Or would you be too unstable?

[@realchelseabear]

I think I'd be too nervous getting on a step stool and bending up and down with things in my hands, but maybe I'll give it a try!

[@tmc1473]

You should try doing that in an rv. Just kidding.❤😂 Yes, I live full-time in a cool R. V. And it is difficult washing clothes. Even though I have a wash machine inside the r v.

[@realchelseabear]

haha I could only imagine!

[@tmc1473]

​It is fun... However I will never complain..​@@realchelseabear

[@big8dog887]

I wonder if a vacuum cleaner might help you move clothes from the washer to the dryer. Suck the clothing item to an attachment small enough to not let the clothing item get sucked all the way in, move it up, then pluck it off in the dryer.

[@realchelseabear]

I never thought of that! I think I'd get nervous the suction would ruin my clothes, but idk! have you tried it?

[@big8dog887]

@@realchelseabear I'm a t-shirt and jeans kind of guy who goes to the laundromat, so, no, I was just thinking out loud. However, after your reply, I decided to try a couple of things. Addressing the rough on clothes issue, I stuffed the vacuum hose into a swimming pool noodle, figuring that the foam rubber is less hard on clothes than hard plastic. This worked fairly well on socks and t-shirts, not so well on jeans, however, I must note that I have a rather wimpy vacuum cleaner. Then I tried cutting a six inch segment off the end of the noodle. This gives you slightly better suction, but also tends to collapse the hole, so you need to constantly adjust it. Overall, works about the same. The other thing I tried was attaching some netting to the end of the hose, with the theory that the clothing item would press on the netting without getting sucked in. Didn't work as well, but again, my vacuum cleaner is wimpy. I think both of these things would work better with a more powerful vacuum cleaner. Also seems to work a little better if you use a technique where you're scooping underneath larger articles of clothing. Of course, it should go without saying that you would want to experiment on clothing you don't really care about before trying it on your most delicate unmentionables. Not sure how useful any of this is, but, at the very least, you get another comment to help you out in the KZbin algorithm. I enjoy your channel very much, keep up the good work. 😃 (Okay, that's not as nice as your smile, but it's the best I can do with emojis.)

[@jamesfreeman2258]

You normalize what should be considered normal, and that is just doing average everyday things like chores, shopping, going on vacations, to a ball game, and even dating as a person with CP. The more disability is SEEN , the Better for everyone. We humans are too in the box,, and need to expand to normalizing out of the box behavior and physical appearances. Diversity is essential for any healthy species.
