Arnold Schwarzenegger Drops Disheartening Health Update Going Against His Austrian Values

Life is very unpredictable; you never know what it will throw at you. The same happened with the iconic bodybuilding icon Arnold Schwarzenegger as he never would have thought of starting the week by undergoing surgery. Previously, Arnie had gone through three heart surgeries, and this was his fourth one.

In his daily newsletter, the Arnold’s Pump Club, he shared this news with his fans and followers, while also beckoning them to have the courage to share their health issues so that they could work out solutions for similar problems. That being said, this might be against the Goat’s Austrian values. Let’s find out how.

Arnie’s journey from open heart surgeries to pacemakers 

The Governator started his newsletter by highlighting that sharing his health-related issues makes him stand against his Austrian values. He added how during his upbringing, “Everything related to healthcare was kept to yourself.” But Arnie always stays transparent and truthful to his fans and decided to disclose the fact that he had surgery to get a pacemaker on Monday. 

The 76-year-old former bodybuilder explained how he had a bicuspid aortic valve that made him go through two open heart surgeries. He went through his first open heart surgery in 1997. Then in 2018, he went for a replacement of his valve and opted for the non-invasive option, but there was a screwup. So he again had to go through open heart surgery, replacing only one of his valves. Then, in 2020, his first non-invasive transcatheter valve replacement was a success.

The 76-year-old bodybuilding icon always stays well connected to his doctors, and this time the doctors passed their verdict on him getting a pacemaker to stay clear of emerging issues. He got his surgery done on Monday while highlighting the fact that by Friday, no one even realized that he was attending events after having surgery just a few days ago. The Austrian Oak emphasized how he shared this with his 775,000 subscribers because he knew they found inspiration from his ventures.

While getting a pacemaker comes with its struggles, Arnie is still all set to film FUBAR season 2.

Even after all the heart issues, is FUBAR Season 2 still coming?

If you went through pacemaker surgery, you’re advised to not do any heavy activities for at least 4 to 6 weeks. Arnie hinted at the same and said,”I  can’t do my serious training in the gym for a while.” However, despite all the restrictions, the Austrian Oak is determined to recover faster, as he needs to film the second season of his massive hit series FUBAR.

According to Schwarzenegger, his friend recovered in quick time and regained their energy levels as well. “I will be 100% ready for FUBAR next month!” the Terminator wrote, indicating that nothing will stop him from pursuing his goals.

The Terminator had gone against his ‘Austrian values’ just so his fans could feel inspired and overcome the fear of surgeries. Are you scared of surgeries? Let us know in the comments.
