I hope viewers take something positive from our day & the emotional day that created a new life for me. This follows my day from start to finish and gets vulnerable about the day my life changed forever and I became confined to a #wheelchair. We take you inside one of my dreams, go for coffee, shopping at home goods, out to eat, spend time cuddling at home and more! Enjoy the #vlog !

I.m in a wheelchair too and had to learn all what she is doing. In and out of bed, car's, showers, getting dressed and so on I had to learn how to do all these things plus cooking, doing laundry by myself and I have done well. It's iffy that I'll walk again but I can stand in my walker just not strong enough to take steps by myself. I stagger more than take steps, but I have a very good attitude and I'm really working to walk again, in my walker with full strong steps ! I had 3 strokes and have been in this wheelchair over 3 years. I'm 83.😇

When you mentioned that you walk in your dreams it made me smile. I too have dreams in which I walk. I’ve been hesitant to share it with anyone because of their reaction which is often their telling me that I’ll be able to walk again. Perhaps I will, but I don’t rely on dreams for a prognosis. I wish you guys well in your endeavors…

Don’t feel shame, this is normal. Part of the reason I share my life is to reverse the stigma on handicapped people and it being only a negative thing. Society was never accepting of anyone who may be different but it’s changing 🫶🏼

hello, thank you for sharing your story, hi my name is Marcy and yes I've struggled being in a wheelchair since i was six years old but i am now 35 years old and i've grown to love myself for who i am and not what i am, and you really made me feel so much better about myself, i was only six years old when i had both feet and both hips replaced for what reason is unknown about my hips but i had clubbed feet though and the doctors told me that i needed surgery to fix my clubbed feet and that was it, they never mentioned anything about doing anything to my hips though and i thought with a little physical therapy i would be up and walking again but no i couldn't walk at all and i required the use of a wheelchair and i began to love myself for who i am and not what i am, yes its tough sometimes yes but i try to over look that and i hope that things get better for you though and thank you for sharing your story

That is a scary accident. I’m glad you gained a positive mindset to stay strong and have a good quality of life. Self love and care is the most important thing and you’re teaching others how to live, not only in a wheelchair but also in any difficult or challenging condition. It’s all about acceptance and brightening each day with beauty and simple joys.

I’ll share a bit bc I am very grateful to have found you and this video. I am struggling with a genetic neuromuscular disease. I’ve lived a pretty normal life physically aside from random numb areas I discovered as a teen (whatever) and random, very painful issues but that were spread out enough that they didn’t seem connected. I had kids and lived a totally normal (Scratch that, who the hell is normal?! Not, not me. That’d be no fun lol). Up until 6 years ago I was running marathons. I’m even a registered “marathon maniac” which means I’ve run back to back marathons. My legs and feet are so painful now it’s unbearable at times. So bad I can’t think straight or even talk. Sometimes irregardless of the pain, I’ll have a foot or entire leg and foot just not work. Mostly it happens to my foot only (drag foot) but I never know if it’s going to be a few days, a few months, permanent? A bizarre and scary feeling. Anyhow, things are progressing pretty quickly now and there’s no cure. I’ve a team of doctors at U of Rochester (NY) Strong Memorial (It’s 5 hrs away but it ain’t a plane ticketthat monitors and collects data from me, and a doctors who’ll be implanting some stimulators in my back in a few weeks to hopefully get some pain relief, but they wont help the progression and the other effects. Soooooo, I may lose the ability to walk. Many of the people who have this disease do so. I’m struggling with it. I’m angry. I’m so sad. I know I can’t live in that place though. Stumbling on to your clip this evening was perfect timing and very inspiring to me. You didn’t shut down and shut in but are out there living life. I’m embarrassed to say that while I was a backpack and a plane ticket chick to places all over the world, like India and Thailand in 2017, I’m heartbroken and rarely leave the house. You’ve reached me at a tipping point I think though. I need to live a real life again. I need to figure this sh$t out. I think seeing how amazing you’ve been with having an obstacle in front of you that you did not choose, and seeing you climbing right the hell over it, was the message I needed. So thanks Nicholette. I needed your story and wish you the best life has to give ❤

So sorry to hear about your accident Nicolette, you have an amazing spark of life and energy. Your body may be a bit disabled, but not your mind/Spirit. Our Creator allows us each to travel down different paths in this flesh experience, all quite different. I didn't really awaken to Him until my life-threatening injury 21 years ago. Coming so close to death really got me thinking about an afterlife, and I now know that this life in these flesh bodies is quite temporal, but our Spirit is eternal. I've come to know Him, our Creator, quite well during my search for truth. I've discovered many things along the way, most of which many refuse to believe. Anyway I don't want to ramble or I'll go all day, just wanted to say hi and that I love you! Give Brian a big hug, he seems to be a genuinely nice person and quite compassionate. Take care sweetheart! ❤

Me and my hubby are both disabled and he has mild Right sided Cerebral palsy and I am epileptic and I have 12 plates in my head show saying that I have an balance complex meaning very hard to balance is the understatement of the year we both understand what it takes to make y'all these videos because we ourselves are disabled other people who are normal may not get just what goes into a wheelchair loading and unloading my husband has to load my chair in the back of the pickup and that's just my manual I also have an electronic wheelchair which gets out of its own way cerebral palsy is a birth defect it is an umbrella term that blankets a lot of different Little Things that could all be a part of different disorders but instead they're a part of the CP keep making your videos cuz you have awesome content so in fact that he can still drive without hand controls the adaptations

I've been dealing with epilepsy for a little over 30 years now myself....it really sucks being unable to drive even though my seizures are pretty much under control with my current medication regimen. I only require to anticonvulsant medications but fortunately they're working well at a fairly low dose. Hopefully you're not having to take several different medications just to keep your seizures under control.

It's amazing how people like us have very similar perspectives on life. You said 2 things in that video. Never quit no matter what. Never gave up is the title to one of my videos. Read the mini essay on the description to that video if you have the patience.. and you said there is a reason for all of this. " everything happens for a reason" is something I say to myself often and is one of the reasons I survived these last few years.. i will make a video on that topic soon.

Very well produced edited video. Thank you for telling your story. This is truly an amazing you tube channel. Please continue telling your story. I hope you will consider stopping in at rehab Hospitals and childrens hospitals to encourage others who are just starting to deal with what you have been through. I don't know if you have heard about a woman named Joni Ericson Tada. She had a diving accident when she was teenager in Maryland in the early 1970s. She was a quadriplegic. She became an artist, painting with a brush in her mouth, a writer and has a ministry called Joni and Friends. By the way you may want to try magnesium oil spray may help your legs and the upper body arms shoulders. Also great to help relax the mind as well. God bless you both!

Thanks for this awesome video! It takes courage to be vulnerable and tell the truth of your story, but people need to hear this and understand what it is like to be disabled.

No I don't take that the wrong way - I am so fortunate to still have use of my hands and never take it for granted. I think quadriplegics have it much harder. I wanted to share my personal experiences with others and what its like in a day in my life and wasn't comparing myself to anyone else. Thanks for watching!

This was an awesome video! thank you for sharing your story with all us youtubers! I admire your strength! Its so important to show the public that we are all just people no matter our physical abilities! Btw I love shopping and eating out too. A question if you dont mind. Does your chair have breaks? As an OT assistant I got worried when I saw your transfers and the chair wasn't still. Sorry couldn't help asking. Thanks again and hugs! (-:

Thanks so much Laura ☺️ !! We appreciate you taking the time to watch and take something from it. I don’t have breaks on my chair 😂😂 it can be dangerous at times but I usually try to wedge my chair between stuff so it doesn’t move. I got tired of my breaks breaking and just took them off, probably not my smartest move lol

@@NicholetteBrian Thanks so much for replying to my comment! I totally understand about the brakes thing. My more mobile patients were always needing therapy/maintenance depts to help fix their brakes. Such a hassle! Hope you have a nice week! (-:

I'm a guy so in the world according to girlietube I have no chance of becoming paralyzed. Just about the only major thing I've had to undergo was bowel resection surgery 11 months and two days ago to remove my entire ascending colon.

I was just doing some brainstorming on what kind of video that I wanted to make where I talk about my own life in a wheelchair. I did a KZbin search "Wheelchair life" and guess what? Your video popped up! I had a spinal cord stroke at the age of 17 that left me as a C5-6 incomplete quad on June 14, 2004. If you ever want to collaborate on things for future content, feel free to hit me up! Keep up the great work!
