I am going to merge my YouTube channel and this blog and “marry” them a little!
When I make a new YouTube, I am going to throw it over here as a Vlog (video blog). I think it will be helpful to mingle them together. The more others can be helped in their disability journey, the happier I am to share what I have learned and want to help others with.
YouTube has been a huge resource to help me learn new skills, and their is such a great community there. Blogging has been a huge outlet for me in my own personal healing journey. Writing is therapeutic and I have never cared if anyone even read. I just needed to write.
Over the years though, people do read. And I have loved to help educate and teach things in my life that I have been so honored and humbled to learn.
I took the kids Christmas shopping and we were out all day and ALL of us were tired. This Mama was beat though. It was a great time for a “Tired Transfer” video for YouTube. So here is to our first Vlog over here!
Your videos shed so much light on disability! I was curious if you ever get help transferring or do you prefer to transfer yourself? Also, I was so afraid you were going to fall! Does that ever happen?

I used to get help, but now am solo. I don’t ask the kids to help me with that….at least so far. If nothing else, it is a good workout! 🙂 I do wish at bedtime someone could just throw me in bed! But it is probably good for me. I am sure at some point, I am going to need a hoyer lift to help get me in and out of my chair to replace a person. I’m not there yet though!
Falling does happen sometimes, but not often. I try to be super careful to get close to the bed so there isn’t a crack to fall through. And my morning transfers aren’t as bad as my night ones when I am so tired!
