Health Update: Heart Still Broken, Life Goes On

Let's get a transesophageal echocardiogram!

[Rompstirdg]

Lets all just once again thank Austin's wife for telling him to get a checkup also you got this

[ethanisfancy]

I like to imagine that when Austin is half-sedated, he starts telling the hospital staff about public domain superheroes

"Just bad enough to where you feel terrible all the time, but just well enough where they aren't going to do anything about it" is the most relatable thing ever. I've suffered from chronic pain since early high school, but since it was mild, and because I was a "dumb teenager who doesn't know anything and over-exaggerates", I never got treated or diagnosed for it. Now that I'm in my early 20s, and I went straight to a specialist, they actually seemed to take me more seriously. I'm actually getting an xray done for it today.

I was just wondering about this.

Don't lose hope, man.
I'm terribly sorry my useless ass can't do more, but I want you to know that your struggle doesn't go unnoticed and we're all rooting for you.

I recently had a scope for my gastrointestinal issues, and it was incredibly stressful. I can't imagine how much worse yours was

My dad had an aortic aneurysm 8 years ago. He had 3 open heart surgeries and survived. It’s a hard thing to go through. I hope you get the treatment you need Austin. 😁

I recently had a colonoscopy. Same basic set up as yours...different door. Thank goodness for anesthesia that causes no memory. Man...I do hope that the doctors are able to get your heart repaired soon. And your making your little corner of life a bit better than you found it is great. Sharing it with us is a gift. Thank you.

`Don't know if anyone needs to hear it` often this is the message I need to hear. Thanks for all you've done / continue to do Austin. Truely appreciate the work and effort sir...

Austin, my daughter just showed me your video. I work in the medical device space, specifically in heart failure, and I consult for a company that makes a non-surgical treatment for AR. Also, I worked with left ventricular assist devices for HF since 2004 and so maybe I can answer any questions you have or be of some help.

Was just in the hospital and had an NG tube shoved down my nose/esophagus to suck out the contents of my stomach. The worst experience of my life. I feel for you brother. I hope you pull through.

6:02 actually not incohorently - You were talking about the echo images - Red is one of the colors shown(it's usually Red/blue symbolizing velocity of blood)

[NeighborhoodOfBlue]

My partner has Marfan Syndrome, which is a cousin condition to my own Ehlers-Danlos syndrome. One of the common complications for his condition is aortic bisection, and I worry about his heart every day. I'm so glad you're able to get healthcare, and I hope your heart surgery can happen soon.

Austin, thank you for doing these videos and updating us. You are such a trooper man, and your wife is so sweet and wonderful. You two are great. I'm so sorry you are going through this. I'm going to pray for you guys. I hope this gets settled very soon.

[shellsterdude]

Austin, you and your channel are a huge inspiration to me. Just want you to know that no matter what happens, you've significantly, positively impacted many people. Well, at least one person I can attest to :) Thanks a lot. Hope you get a successful surgery soon.

My brain filled in a comma in the title and completely changed the context of the video

[KennethSee]

Had an endoscopy yesterday and getting one tomorrow. Needed to see this! It was both funny and calming. You are making this anxious patient a little less anxious. Thanks, Austin.

[DennisCDavison]

I've literally been where you are. Both physically and mentally. I used to live in Springfield Mo. Moved to MN because cardiologist retired

[nathanlee]

I know of no one that could make heart failure so comical!

Love you Austin! You're amazing!!

[marktheshark]

Austin, as someone who has always been sickly from birth to now as an adult.And who is also suffering from a medical condition called lymphedema.Your channel and the way you highlight your personal experiences with us, is really one to be commended.Cuz you really didn't have to.But you did.I just want to say don't give up bro.Your Super Zeroes Universe has inspired me to create something as well in the public domain realm as well.I will keep you in my prayers bro.

[yeahyeahd]

My dad has been in heart failure since he was 40 (yay genetics and chronic kidney disease..); he's 68 now. It is exhaustingly slow and it is terrifying as hell. It's also a topic I don't think many know a lot about, so thank you for sharing your experiences.
