This video is actually super helpful to me. I work for an insurance company and my main job is processing claims for durable medical equipment, such as wheelchairs. I know exactly what you mean about certain parts not being covered, or only being covered once every six months or some other arbitrary length of time. Seeing how those kinds of policies affect actual wheelchair users is really helpful to me and hopefully will be something I can address with the policy makers at my company.

Hi Shane and Hannah, I’m a 14 year old, and only recently starting watching your videos. I’m absolutely blown away by both of your stories, I really enjoy watching both of you go through your lives, (i know this may seem funny to hear lol), one thing i like the most is the sense of humour, every video i watch, even if it is serious intended, always leaves me laughing or with a giant smile on my face. Shane looks like someone who is really easy to get along with, and Hannah is really pretty :). I don’t know whether this will get read, but if so then i want you to know that your videos make me happier than any other, especially when i’m stressed or not feeling very good, but your motivation is almost as if passed on to me. Thanks guys, Nathan.

@kathaa-b6972

I have social anxiety, so for me any interaction with anyone I don't know very well is awkward, or I fear it will be, and I try to shy away … and if someone is disabled, I have the feeling that the interaction is even more likely to be awkward - not because of the disabled person, but because of my own insecurities and nervousness to say or do something wrong or weird. So I definitely do shy away. Which is an explanation, not an excuse, so I'm trying to be better. I think Shane's videos are helping with that as well. :)

My grandfather had ms and the only way I knew him was in a wheelchair. Wheelchairs really have come a long way from when he was alive. He's been gone for 20 years now. He had ms in his 20's and they gave him a short amount of time to live but he shocked the doctors by living until he was 68. I remember when I was younger riding around on his wheelchair, I miss him terribly. Thank you for sharing your story with everyone. Medical advances have come so far in 20 years and so has technology. I know people are still uncomfortable around disabled individuals and there's no reason to be at all. I'm hoping one day for a world where there will be no stigma against the disabled, races, religions and people will just be able to live the way want to as long they are not hurting anyone. You two are adorable!

Mine is like his. Barebones, nothing even remotely fancy. And now it's being held together with black duct tape in a couple of places. (The counselor at the accommodations department at my daughter's college saw my chair and called their maintenence guy. Hahahahaha. Such nice people!) The worst though...it has a poltergeist and once in a while it will just stop and shift to lockout mode. I can't use the controls until I turn it off and then on and go through the mode button back to drive. It's takes about 30 seconds which isn't a lot of time if you're safely on the side of the road, but it did this in a crosswalk on a busy road one day. I've never been so afraid of dying.

Katie Hilton it depends on their age. When I was 11 I just wanted to be in my chair all day so I could move around with my friends. Physio Therapy and hydro are good excuses for getting out of the chair with productive time. That said soft play areas are good. Ideally you want to be getting them out of chair once a day for 20mins or more. Tummy crawling is good for the back.

I used to work with adults with disabilities and I would take each of them out twice. Once at the beginning of the day and then after lunch. A lot of wheelchair users like their chair and don't mind being in it but they should be taken out just like someone laying in bed at the hospital should get up for walks or should be rotated if they've been laying for a while.

i love you guys so much, the love you have for each other shows in incredible ways. i am not physically disabled but have mental health issues that contribute to me believing nobody could ever "put up" with me because of it. seeing a healthy loving relationship between a disabled person and an able bodied is beautiful and makes me want to try love myself more, and not doubt my worth as much. i would never call any other disabled/mentally ill person a burden, because they are not, and i don't know why i'd do that to myself! i am only just realising this. p.s so glad to see your channel expanding everyday

It's amazing how many wheelchairs they have out there to fit each person. My best friend is in a wheelchair (electric as well) due to muscular dystrophy, and back when him and I would go shopping I'd put my purse on the back of his handles as well. And I completely understand about the tire situation.. he fights with his as well for new tires which is crazy because it's something they have to have. He gets a new chair about every 10 years and changes the color of his.. his is a lime green right now

Hannah, I understand about the benefit of using Shane's wheelchair to hold your bags. It was really nice when we used the baby stroller to hold a lot of our bags and pocketbooks. We also had a cup holder. Wait a minute. I didn't see a cup holder on his wheelchair. One more thing to add. Love you guys!!

I work in insurance and you can ask for more frequent tire replacements if they are medically necessary. The medical necessity reason for more frequent tire replacements is the safety risk of having no tread. Have your doctor write a letter stating you need them more frequently for safety reasons and if your insurance denies the request you can keep appealing it up to higher levels of regulators that oversee insurance companies to make sure they aren’t leaving people unsafe by not covering expensive stuff. It can be a fight but it can be worth it. The same is true for customizations to your seating, arm rests, head rest, getting a back up seat cushion, etc... Your doctor can write a letter stating how they are medically necessary to prevent skin breakdown on bony joints (like hips, elbows and buttocks) and prevent breaks and dislocations secondary to your contractures. Any change in your condition is also a medical necessity reason for getting the chair reassessed for necessary customizations or even replacement before the standard insurance time frame (which is usually every 5 years). Good luck and feel free to message me with questions!

I have a bike bell that I mounted on my wheelchair so I can tell people to get out of the way. I also glued a ton of fun patches to the back of it. My friends love to use me as a pack mule when we go shopping too! I'm cool with it so long as they push me around when my arms get tired. A symbiotic relationship!

Shane, the “Profile” setting on my wheelchair ( with the exact same controller), means that you can vary between inside and outside speed modules. Nice tour of your chair. I love my chair as well, but everything moves soooooo slowly..... a lot of disability products seem to be marketed for a much older geriatric demographic. Newsflash, disability comes in ALL ages. Love your videos

Hey Shane! Came across your channel randomly when surfing youtube. You are such an amazing person and I am in awe of you and Hannah's bond and her patience with your disability. I have a suggestion about your "Profile" button on your chair which I believe is a memory setting for different situations being in your chair which probably stores a certain number of settings for tilting and raising your chair with the touch of a button. Love your videos! I am so thankful for today's advancements in medicine like Spinraza that will help and others live out a longer life.

I have an active wheelchair and I understand 100% problem with wheels. My front wheels are solid but the big with pushrims have to be with air. I wanted to change them the evening before Christmas Eve and my superpowers and a great sense of engineering didn't work out this time I punched both of the tires with the tyre levers... each of them 3 times! (oh yeah who is the boss?) No replacement tires at home and I was crying and laughing at the same time... It was a real Christmas miracle that one bicycle shop was opened the next day (we called 10 of them in my city) and they had tires that fitted, although they were 2 inches too long :D Now I have 3 pairs of spare tires just in case.

My grandson was ALWAYS curled down, looking at the underside, inspecting my controller since he was around 2 months old. On my birthday a few weeks ago, I let him sit in my chair alone inside the house. He’s been driving it outside since he was 16 months old. I put it into recline so he couldn’t maneuver it inside the house, but he figured out how to flip it out of recline into gear. Then I was worried he’d get it into drive, so just as my son was disengaging the second motor, my little man moved my chair! Later, he got off my chair and started to inspect the back of my chair to figure out what was done to stop the chair. That little monkey found a bag that I have my attendant controller in, unzipped the bag, got that controller out and turned my chair on. What a MONKEY! My wheelchair is 450lbs without me in it. I sit on an air filled cushion, with lamb’s fleece behind my back. I prefer to use air filled tires. The ride is much smoother, but it comes with a price! “How to disable the disabled 101”. Last summer, I popped a tire 40 minutes from home, in an area I’m not familiar with. I had NO idea what to do, so I called the cops. They came right away. The cops called a tire company who came within 15 minutes. The men lifted me and lead my service dog over to some shade. They laid me on my chair cushion and back rest cushion. A passer by, not sure how to help, ran to a near by shop and bought me a bottle of water and a muffin! So these 4 guys, the kind man, the 2 cops and the tire shop guy lifted my chair up onto a really high flat deck of the 3 tonne truck. They drove off, replaced the tube and brought the chair back to me. I was lying in the shade enjoying the ice cold water and nice warm muffin visiting with the cops and kind fellow until they brought my chair back. They lifted me up, put my cushions back onto my chair and settled me in...and I was off to find another adventure! GREAT SERVICE!!! Great COPS, AWESOME passer by!

Edited, this would make a great picture book. The worst thing about the kids growing up was losing the use of their stroller! I was at Wal-Mart tonight waiting in the scooter for my husband to load the truck 🚚and come get me. It was chilly enough that I was waiting on the store and one of the managers that I had noticed before wheeled up to talk to me. We had a great 👍time and kept talking even after my husband came to look for me. 😊 So, it turns out he has cerebral palsy affecting his knees and hips. He can walk, just not a lot of very far,like me. His girlfriend. Was working at the self Che k out. She also has CP. It is so sweet, they have all of the same doctors. So, he had just. Sen your CNN interview and has watched at least one video here. Natually, I recommened the Cuddling video. It never gets old!
