♡ Pre Op Appointment! (11.02.19) | Amy's Life ♡

[@okjessicah]

Maybe a video series of "how I got diagnosed with ___"

[@kimberlyhayes6006]

Jessica Braunscheidel yes!

[@geordiequeen6470]

Yes!

[@beckyjo8745]

That's a good idea! 👍👍👍

[@amyslife4457]

Yes!!! I’m actually going to do this thank you so much! ❤️

[@ashleighbolton3009]

I watch you because you turned up in my suggested feed maybe... six months ago? And i realized we were almost the same age and that we're both from perth. Even before i knew you were a chronic illness vlogger i thought 'i gotta watch this channel to support a fellow aussie'. I love your positive attitude and your smile.

[@darkbluematter1753]

Someone else has said House tour for video ideas. I second that. Or even a little neighborhood tour, like the daily shops/places you go to or your favorite places in your city. I'm always curious to see daily life in other places.

[@brittanynipper6293]

Yes I agree with this

[@kimpossible7505]

I just love your channel, Amy! You show the reality of chronic illness, while still having fun and enjoying your life

[@rileyborkholder8910]

your videos are literally my favorite

[@the1mrsmalinski136]

Mine too. ❤❤

[@clairecheney]

Just off the top of my head, ideas for videos: Things never to say to someone with chronic illness Things people have said to you with a chronic illness Which foods are drainable (I would love to see this because the idea of something being drainable or not is sort of an abstract concept for those of us who don't drain.) Shop with me A vlog type thing when you and Tom move

[@brittanybramble4676]

I've been watching you for a couple of months now, I love how happy with yourself and it doesn't matter what people think your perfect ❤️

[@Aleex_xxd]

Found you a couple of weeks back and now it’s my routine to watch you! Love your positivity and the hard work you put into your videos! X

[@amyslife4457]

Aww thank you so much!

[@eleanorwrightson1215]

Love your videos,may be a clothing haul or relationship tag. Another one I would be interested in would be differences of health care between UK and America dealing with illness

[@tammylopez3503]

You have me in aww so many people complain , I’m guilty as well, about things that really don’t matter and you , you are getting thru life with all these problems and wow !! I’m so amazed and proud of you!!!!❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@billiebluesheepie2907]

Woah, Amy - four advertisements in an eleven minute (+8 seconds!) vlog - definitely a record!!!

[@veronicapeaire9817]

u should do the never have i never with tom

[@torianderson8724]

Veronica Peaire yes!!

[@brittanynipper6293]

Yesssss

[@asmethaarvin7640]

Hi Amy, I'm your fan from Malaysia here. I really hope that one day there will a big show like The Ellen Show will invite you and help for your medical expenses and other expenses and I really wish to meet you one day. I will always pray for you even though I'm a Hindu. You are so lucky to have Tom as your life partner who can understand your situations. #LoveYouAmy #LoveFromMalaysia #KeepFightingAmy

[@haleycox94]

Tom can sleep with his arm around the broccoli, and you can sleep with your arm around tom lol

[@InsideousMe]

Hi Amy, Could you do a self care/mental health maintenance video? Not always easy staying strong when you're feeling rubbish. Always good to get new ideas and see someone else's routine :)

[@meganbirdwell5044]

Amy your such a beautiful person, and stay so strong regardless of the situation. I would love to see a video of you sketching! Like a time lapse of you drawing!

[@bellaangus1213]

Feel better and know you’re loved by the thousands. You are so smart and have a huge heart. Love you ♥️

[@lizsun261]

your videos are amazing and i love watching them whenever i have any health things to do it really helps calm me down!

[@merleros4923]

I love Bondi Rescue :) It is even on tv here in the Netherlands!

[@doreenellis7877]

I’m the same way with tv shows! I get really into them and feel the emotions they portray😊

[@grandmaarmstrong1262]

Your so amazing amy🌹 I just love watching you cause you make me feel like not giving up on my illness’s much love from New York 🌹

[@tonyajohnson6065]

I love how positive you are💕. You and Tom are so cute together too!

[@Zyzyem]

Haha debating on who’s sleeping with the broccoli! I love it 😂 I would absolutely love to see like a video of pictures you have taken starting from your difficulty and diagnostics until now!

[@pamela6564]

We love you too Amy and appreciate you. I wish you all the best in life.

[@chloeplaysfortnite540]

Hi it’s Chloe one your fans!! I think you should do a house tour or a room tour!! You are so pretty!! Keep being you and don’t let people get you down!!💙

[@kristinablocher7679]

I’m re doing my room since I’m in there so much and would love spoonie necessities or things that make life easier and more enjoyable 💜💜💜

[@brittanynipper6293]

Or a video on how you and tom met/ or a video of your favorite places where you live... Shops/restaurants etc... 💛💜

[@emmagoodrum2073]

A diagnosis series/videos would be cool. Just to kinda explain how long it took to get diagnosed and how that whole process went. :)

[@eduardopadilla5505]

hi, those videos are in the description.

[@jordantaglioli2714]

I love your ring splints!! I love your vlogs. I have been following you for quite some time now. I have a Jtube and Gastroparesis. Its nice to watch someone who is going thru some of the same medical issues. Love you guys and keep your head up beautiful!!

[@blakemama]

Leukocytes and nitrites are what you see when you have a UTI. As an EDS girl, I've had more than my share. Your temp is probably elevated from the infection. Good that you're getting a culture grown so you know what antibiotic will work. Can you treat symptomatically with "the red stuff" until you get a definitive diagnosis?

[@jennanicole8208]

You should do a skit about chronic illness struggles

[@alysonjade2461]

I think it's funny you and Tom have to "fight" for the broccoli!!! Hopefully you can find another or, as you said, steal the carrot? Lol I have a bit of a stupid question when it comes to your line. Is it on your left side or your right? I believe it must be on your right since I remember a few vlogs back when you mentioned you can't put your seatbelt over it, but then as it enters into your heart it would make more sense to be on the left side where your heart is.

[@Astrid591000]

Thank you Amy i love watching all your videos. Xx💕

[@toasterkitten2128]

Idk if I missed it, but what’s your pre op app for?

[@yogabirds]

Toaster Kitten she’s having an endoscopy and colonoscopy to hopefully figure out where she is losing blood.

[@brittanynipper6293]

Colonoscopy and endoscopy

[@kimpossible7505]

I love that show, Bondi Rescue. Have they put out any new episodes?

[@saskia3832]

If you feel comfortable, you should make a video about how your mental and physical health interact, as in how having physical health problems affects your mental health and so on.

[@14SEK14]

do you still catheterize? or do you not produce as much ~waste~ since being on tpn

[@saphiaer]

Just a little question, does Amy use a little tripod when she vlogs ? Sometimes her video is so shaky at times it makes me feel a little sick and I don’t get motion sickness often 😅

[@jenna-roseprice8171]

love these videos💕

[@molliehoward4120]

Your videos are the highlight of my stressful day at uni❣️ I would love to see you do conspiracy theories I could listen to your videos for hours when I study!

[@amyslife4457]

mollie howard I would love too but I’d be sooooo bad at it! SHANE DAWSON Is the Queeen (king) of conspiracy videos!

[@molliehoward4120]

Amy's Life I can’t believe you replied, thank you so much! I totally agree that Shane is the queen of all theories but there’s some super cool ones about Australia which would be extremely interesting!

[@maruparra1963]

Amy does it make any difference for you money wise, if we skip the commercials? I heard on another channel that you get paid less money, is that true?

[@greeneyes12346]

I love bondi rescue!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@shilamoniahmad6053]

Hi Amy May I ask where u brought the rings from you wear on the fingers

[@tinywarriorfox]

Suggestion for a video - how you managed to grow your internet presence so much!

[@rdjenkins921142004]

When u don’t only put ur in danger u put everyone else life in danger. Love ur videos Amy and Tom. Tom I love how u take care of Amy and u too click and are Adorable

[@yogabirds]

If the urinalysis comes back fine, you need to insist on blood cultures. You can have the start of sepsis with a slightly higher than normal for you temp and feel okay but not great for weeks. Then all of a sudden feel so ill you can’t hardly move with high fevers. It’s life threatening and some people literally die within hours of onset.

[@amyslife4457]

BottleBabies Reborns I know! I would never mess with suspected sepsis or if I thought it could be more! And don’t worry I just have a bad UTI confirmed today 😅

[@yogabirds]

Amy's Life It’s absurd that anyone would say “Thank Goodness its a bad UTI!”, but that’s a 1000 times better than the alternative! You take great care of yourself! I just worry about you even though we’re a half a world apart! Love ya🥰

[@lr7747]

Idea for prep for colonoscopy- place in feed tube pump and run over your tolerated rate. Good luck

[@boofaith98]

And an in depth room tour

[@Amy-zc5ll]

I've watched Bondi Rescue for years and I actually had a internship job opportunity to work there when I was 15/16

[@amyslife4457]

That’s so cool OMG!! Amaizng! Did you do it?? 😱

[@Amy-zc5ll]

@@amyslife4457 sadly no since thats around the time my health started to decline

Day is going well Amy and loved the other video today and keep up the great work on youtube as a job 👍👍👍👍👍👍👌👌👌👌👌👌👋👋👋👋👋👋

[@hrh59]

Great video x

[@saffronmia3393]

I love your videos 💘

[@georgia8678]

I have to sleep with a pillow to support my shoulder the same way Mr. Broccoli does for you xD I just ordered a microbead cylinder pillow cause my partner is getting annoyed with the big pillow taking up so much space haha

[@LJinaus]

💜 you always look so beautiful

[@brittanynipper6293]

You should do a draw my life video. 💛💜 I love your videos and your personality!!!

[@michellestephens3126]

Hi Amy, I have a question about your Hickman line. Do you have issues with the line slowly backing out during dressing changes? Muck like a PICC line does. Love you and your channel! Love from Stone Mountain, Ga.❤️

[@kecrn4132]

Michelle Stephens - I never had that issue with my PICC’s....and as a nurse, I have changed hundreds of PICC line dressings... very rarely do we have issues with the line popping out.. very rarely!

[@driedupcontact]

We love you!

[@Zyzyem]

I was just wondering if you have a catheter all the time or wether you just have one when you need it. And also do you know how to set up a catheter on yourself? I’m sorry I’m so curious but I was also wondering what kind of surgery or thing your having done I just didn’t quite understand Sorry this may be a bit personal but I was really wondering

[@abbiebelle3928]

Zyzyem 1221 I was curious about this too! I found a video on her channel talking about catheters. You should check it out 😊

[@kecrn4132]

I have had to self catheter for a period of time... it becomes very easy.... you figure out where the proper hole is very quickly!!!!

[@amyslife4457]

I don’t have a permanent catheter I just put it in myself every time I need to go for a wee! Hope this helped! ❤️

[@Zyzyem]

Amy's Life thank you so much for answering my question that clears most things up for me! But It did raise a question in me. Do you use a catheter instead of the natural way because of all the UTIs you get or is there another reason? I’m honestly so so sorry for all the questions but I love you so much and I’m just trying to get a better understanding of the life you live!

[@kayleebarrett8751]

Maybe you could make a video about how you feel about your disabilities (sorry I forget the name of it) and what the hardest part has been for you

[@elliottsteinberg8189]

Can you do a house tour for a video? And your morning routine?

[@torianderson8724]

morning/ night routine or week in my life

[@piercethebronx2779]

Hey do you have to pay for all your supplies and medication and feed etc or is it supplied to you through the health care system? Xxxx

[@amyslife4457]

Emily Rxttie I don’t have to pay for the TPN or my feeds but everything else I have too xx

[@piercethebronx2779]

Amy's Life thank you for replying and i bet that costs a bomb! Lovely video ! Xxx

[@saphiaer]

Sorry what did you call your nature strip? A “verge”??? Is that a UK term?

[@erinaustin2157]

I was curious too where/what "the verge" exactly is, but if it's where I'm thinking, we call it "The curb" in the U.S. where the sidewalk meets the road. Maybe it's different everywhere. I haven't heard your term before either.

[@saphiaer]

I’m from Melbourne Australia and we call it nature strip

[@Gymnastics4evr08]

It’s a tree lawn

[@BellaAtkins]

Erin Austin the verge is the edge of the road in places without a path/‘sidewalk’

[@saphiaer]

BellaAtkins so a curb?

[@katierayment7327]

I've watched that episode of bondi it's so sad. Me n my daughter love bondi rescue

Hey I heard y’all are looking for a show to watch - I highly recommend dynasty, it’s on Netflix and it’s awesome

[@PumpkinSpiceLittle]

Date ideas for low spoon days!

[@the1mrsmalinski136]

I know you did a video about what we can do to help you get paid through KZbin awhile back but since there are new people and you have a better idea for it now, would you do a video that gets more into detail about how we can watch ads, download and other things you might be comfortable with Sharing about KZbin and the job you have to do for it to work? I am so thankful for being able to watch you and your journey. I have my own journey coming and your videos have helped me deal with it and be at peace. I am thinking about documenting it as well but I am not sure about sharing it yet. I hope you have a great day. 😊

[@kimberlyhayes6006]

I'm so pissed at KZbin! They've unsubscribed me, and I've missed so many of your videos!!! Grrrr!!

[@darkbluematter1753]

[@kecrn4132]

Are you being intubated and going under GA for a colonoscopy and endoscopy???
