ROGL!!!!! dude they don’t go in your “you know what” with the heart catheter! They poke it into a vein in the top of your thigh and snake it up into your heart. It’s not like a urine catheter.

This brings me to …
It´s not by far as serious as this though…
This brings me to tears, it´s so aweful that she was accused of being lazy when she had a life threatening disease.
I have a disorder that made it difficult to move as a child and makes me get tired very easily and I was called lazy too and that was not fun.

I dont think they …
I dont think they could do that with guys, because the space inside the opening of our you know what is so small…plus if something scratched inside the opening, we could get it infected or something. It must have been scary to have a plastic box over your head, not knowing whats happening, where you could feel everything, but not do ANYTHING about it.

There are large blood vessels in the groin area that are the easiest way for the tube to travel to the heart. But yes, I would be freaked out and cupping myself if I didn’t know what they would be doing with my groin

Hi everybody ! I …
Hi everybody ! I live in switzerland and i’m 16 and my grilfriend has this disease so i’m doing a lot of research about PH so that i can understand her better ! These videos are really scary and i’m just so scared to lose her ! She’s got this disease but i think that having PH made her more sensible and she lives every moment if it would be the last ! She’s gonna do a lang transplant in 6 months and after that she can run and live like a normal teen =)

For all the people …
For all the people saying morbid sulking things and feeling “horrible” for her you are immature. She is no “poor girl”. Life is a celebration; sorrow and regret only ruins the party. So stay positive! That is the only true cure to uncurable things as this!
