Semi Wheelchair Accessible Home Tour (Paraplegic)

We have been living in a non wheelchair accessible house since Craig was discharged from hospital but we recently returned to the semi wheelchair accessible flat that we had been living in prior to Craigs spinal cord injury to see what it would be like for us to live independently as an interabled couple. We take you on a apartment tour and show you how we cope living alone in a house that is only partially wheelchair friendly. Craig also demonstrates how to do a low bed to wheelchair transfer.

We (Craig and Claire) return home and attempt to go back to normal life 6 months after a cycling accident that left Craig paralysed from the chest down and reliant on a wheelchair. Join us as we learn what it's like to live with a spinal cord injury, discover the challenges wheelchair users have to face and overcome and search for wheelchair accessible hotspots. We want to show you how much paraplegics can still do and that there is life after paralysis!
