Chantal recently got some bloods done and came back as pre-diabetic with high bad cholesterol.; I refuse to believe Big Al doesn't have at least those.
I know a lot of mention is made of her beetus knuckles, but I genuinely believe that the darkness is just dirt at this point. She has already admitted to not being able to fit into the shower easily, and we see evidence of her unwashed state every time she uploads a video. It's obvious when she is clean from her hair alone - and it's not that often. I think if she really had full blown diabetes we would have seen much more serious results of that already with the way she eats. She already has whatever her leg thing is (nerve issues etc) and her disc problems in her back. Not to mention joint pain from hefting that amount of weight around.
I think she's close to major health disaster, but that nothing 'big' has happened yet. For someone her weight and lifestyle she's surprisingly free of anything but bulk related hardships so far. I think that's going to change though, very soon, She's been in an increasingly fast downward spiral for a while now.
If it was just dirt, she could wash her hands, instead, she uses a nice shiny concealer on her knuckles. Now why would she do that for a bit of dirt?
She poses with big bottles of water in videos because she is thirsty, and a few weeks ago her neck started getting dark rings. Fullblown beetus is incoming.
She's actually consuming at least 4x the amount of a healthy person her size. At 5'3", if she had a BMI of 25, she would be 140 lbs. At 560 lbs, she weighs exactly 4x as much as she would at BMI 25.

Worse case scenario - heart failure. She's retaining far too much water and can't breathe. Most likely due to fluid on her lungs. It's a long and slow process, but eventually her heart will just give out. JMO.

The funny thing is that we have actually come a long way in treating heart failure but it's one of those accelerating diseases where it just progresses faster the worse it is. Delaying treatment because you never want to see a doctor ever may end up being AL's downfall after all.
Honestly I think her most immediate risk is infection though. Everyone in that fucking house is sick all the damn time, AL doesn't shower anymore and can't wipe her ass. I doubt Becky is helping her because she seems like less of a caretaker and more of a 90s kid taking special education classes. Nobody cleans up after the pets and Rickie works in a slaughterhouse so who knows what the fuck he's bringing back.
Pneumonia still remains one of the leading causes of death because there's not much doctors can do except give you IV antibiotics and hope your body fights it off. When your immune system is shot to hell because of your 3-digit BMI and poor circulation there's a good chance it will just kill you, especially if you delay treatment.
My question is this: whatever impending health crisis is coming, what will she do?
Is she going to produce one sob story after another to try and milk more cash out of the situation? Or is she going to ignore reality completely, make up reasons why she's going long stetches between vlogs (definitely NOT at a hospital you guise) or is she just going to drop off the map one day, until Becky confirms on Twitter that Big Al has gone to visit her cousins up above?

Depends on what the health crisis is. If it is the fluid on her heart demanding its piece, it may be done in hours. Pneumonia can drag on for a bit untill it turns for the worst and it can be over fast. I think Necky or the toiletbrush would mention it in a video. If the beetus comes to claim some toes, or god forbid a leg (some people stand up, hear a loud crack, fall on the floor, ignored beetus breaks a bone and the leg comes off) she will just not film it and try and play it off like nothing happened. After a hiatus because totes not health issues you guize. If I had to guess, gun to my head, infected legs that require wound debridement will be first, and then she will know what the fuck she has done with that fucking lymphedoema.
Whatever the case, her youth is leaving her, as it leaves us all, and when that day comes for her, and it soon will, she will know, being supermorbidly critically obese comes with consequences. Some toes, her liver, her spleen, her gallbladder, her eyesight, her leg, her skin, Lord Nurgle will have its piece, that much is certain.
Wether or not The Big One will hit Amber anytime soon is up for debate, she has youth on her side, but that will only take her so far. But when it does come for her, I predict the following: She will not have health insurance, she will completely take advantage of any and all emergency treatments given to her, she will completely screw over the hospital/Kentucky tax payer when it comes to her hospital bills and she will do it laughing and smiling, because as we have seen, its all so damn funny to her.
Don't do Ursula like that. She was clever, resourceful, and her makeup was always on point. She was miles ahead of our gorl and she was a fictional octopus witch.
She gets some kind of fecal matter infection, because she can't wipe herself and the fecal matter gets into a open wound on her legs/shelf ass caused by cellulitis and utterly horrible hygiene practices (ala the most recent MSPL episode)
or
She takes her final shallow breath during the night and her lungs just give up
or
She ends up getting aspiration pneumonia because of the massive amounts of food she shoves in her mouth without properly chewing and it ends up going into her lungs instead of into her massive gullet.
Also
As someone who was formerly obese; still half the size of Albert at my biggest; plus at least 6 inches taller; I can say with absolute certainty she cannot and does not wipe her ass or her vagina. I struggled to do both at my biggest so she is either not doing it or Becky is doing it for her.

She denies it and sticks to her story that it is no issue at all. We all know she a lah for at least 200 elbees now. She may just use a wiping stick and leave the crusts and think "job well done I can still do it" meanwhile everyone else in the house just has to make due with scented sticks and candles she gets on her Wommart hauls.
And then Necky goes to town on that vag reeking of piss with the aroma of the ripened dingleberries right nextdoor. Fuck no.
The fun thing about obesity-related complications is that they hit you all at once, from what I've seen in the ER. And also I've seen people in their 20s die of CHF.
Kinda-sorta. You can reverse Type II Diabetes and mitigate CHF through diet and exercise. Your joints will always be fucked up but whatever. NASH can be stopped as long as your liver didn't step in to cirrhosis territory. Not sure about early stage renal disease (which all diabetic deathfats seem to have.)
I mean there's hope for AL but it would require effort on her part but she just digs her own grave one forkful at a time.
Yeah, Amberlynn was worried about her kidneys for a good reason. I wouldn't write off kidney disease just because her back pain turned out to be caused by a UTI.
Kidney disease is a lifelong illness. Obese people's bodies go into overdrive trying to keep up with the load, and this does damage to the kidneys. This is not reversible and directly puts someone at an increased risk for CKD. The person will have a lifelong risk even if they lose the weight because the kidneys are already damaged, though the longer they remain obese and have high BP creates more kidney damage and greater risk. Unfortunately for Amberlynn, the only way to get her to lose weight would be to teleport her back a couple of decades and drop her off in Soviet Russia.
I could go on about her symptoms that point to kidney disease, but there's no point because she lies so much and explains away a lot of ailments in suspicious ways. She's simply eating herself into chronic illness and organ failure and there's no getting around it.
Our hospital had to rip out the 500-lb big boy beds and upgrade them to 800-lb ones.
Kinda cool in some morbid way. If you look at patient weight stats like about 1% of patients cross the 45 BMI barrier and then it all goes completely to shit, their BMIs are everywhere on the spectrum from 45 to triple digits. They still survive because the human body is actually pretty tough and medical science knows how to keep people like James K. alive.
I work in health care and I've certainly seen some shit, but never someone even close to this level of morbid obesity. The fattest I've seen is 300-350 lbs at most and even that's pretty uncommon here. In all honesty I don't know that much about the myriad of super gross health/hygiene/psychological problems unique to extremely morbidly obese individuals, I've probably learned more about that on the Farms than I ever did in school. Obviously Amber lies a lot and tries to be selective about what she shows people, but it's still a morbidly fascinating look at the disease process.
Am I misinterpreting, or did Amber actually have to get some kind of intramuscular injection to treat her UTI? I have literally never seen that in practice. Patients with really nasty UTIs that have made it into the bladder or kidneys might get started off with some IV antibiotics and then sent home with oral ones, that's common, but if she meant IV surely she'd have said that. To be honest, the only UTI-like issues I can think of that might be treated with an IM shot of antibiotics are gonorrhea or syphilis. If anyone has the foggiest idea why any doctor would decide to give an IM shot of antibiotics for an uncomplicated (or hell, even a complicated) UTI please enlighten me... but I don't think it's likely.
Now normally if someone just randomly happened to get some random crotch infection the same weekend their partner was gone I'd at least consider that she might have caught something sleeping around. But with Amber being Amber, I think it's more likely she ran into problems because Becky wasn't around to grab the Wet Naps and administer the occasional hooker bath. No surprise that she'd promptly end up with a UTI. Now here's the speculation: I think it was more than a UTI, I think she also has some nasty cellulitis in a very intimate place, probably developing for a while but worsened along with her hygiene. That would explain the shots, an antibiotic and a corticosteroid maybe, delivering them IM isn't particularly effective for that but it's not unheard of and we are talking about doctors from Bumfuck, Kentucky. And of course there's no way homegirl is going to admit that her skin's rotting from the nastiness growing underneath her fupa.
For most people a UTI, even a nasty one, isn't that big of a deal. But if my autistic hunch is right and Amber's skin is starting to break down also, shit is just gonna keep going downhill from here.
In the most recent MSHPL the EMS ambulance refused to transport the woman because she was over 700lbs. So they crammed her in a taxi minivan (shit show) and then had to haul her out onto a jumbo gurney.
Yeah if it ever turns out that there's a 700 lb hermit around here that suddenly needed emergency treatment they'd probably be screwed. Our city ambulances could probably handle up to 600 lb with some creative improvising, beyond that we'd have to call the one private non-emergency ambulance company that does bariatric transfer and just hope they're able to hurry the fuck up, then take them to the one hospital in the area that happens to have both a bariatric clinic and an emergency department. And that's not even accounting for the amount of time it would take the firemen to get them out.
I know Amber probably doesn't care if she dies, but does she realize it's more likely that she won't die, but instead end up brain damaged and profoundly disabled because she's made it nearly impossible for proper emergency care to be given in time? I guess if she's already bed-bound, 100% dependent and not wiping her own ass she might not be phased by the possibility as much as most people would be. The regret won't set in until she's alone and penniless with an underpaid nurse spoonfeeding her pureed vegetables in the shittiest government nursing home Kentucky has to offer.
