Transcripts
well hello
everybody if you're new to the channel
you probably don't know me very well but
I uh I'm typically the guy that can do
10 things when somebody else does one
thing and it's a great thing but it also
has a great
downside and uh yeah I finally tried to
do too much I think
and about a week ago last Friday when I
was back in eloo trying to make as many
things fit into one day as
possible I uh finally going home at like
9 o'clock at night I think I was
something like that and we're just
leaving out of Haro elu ilu heading back
here to the city of roas and uh to come
home and out of nowhere on the motorbike
I just started getting shoots of pain
coming up my shoulders up the neck and
it felt like it was literally ripping
strings out of your brain I I can't
explain any other way but I had to like
pull over and I'm trying to explain to
cat but I'm also just can't talk I'm
just in so much pain I just want to cry
and scream and nothing just anything and
nothing would help like nothing mattered
um but I also knew that we still had 2
and 1 half hours in the rain and
darkness and everything to make our way
back and what good am I going to do just
outside of harrow in the middle of
nowhere I need to get home and you know
I you know felt like okay I pull a
muscle or it locked up or something like
that as happened to me and sure enough
uh you know I finally got home but it
was very painful and took many hours
because we had to stop all the time and
uh it was the most excruciating thing
and while this went on for days and yes
I did see a doctor and uh get um muscle
relaxing and uh pain medication stuff
like that honestly I don't feel like any
of it helped didn't do anything uh the
only thing it would work is trying to
put heat packs on as much as possible
anyway so yeah every day was just pretty
painful that'll catch you up to speed
because I realized afterwards cuz I'm
recording this now I didn't really
explain what happened cuz I did in a
post a community post but not on a video
so now you're caught up here we go
here's the video well everybody
I'm alive I'm alive don't
worry it was exactly what I thought it
was and turned out to be and it is a
pinch nerve um bad posture riding a bike
long distances doing a lot of it stress
you can just name all the things you put
into it and yeah yeah it's 5 days now
and I still deal with it ice these heat
packs hot or cold but we boil them um
they they do a good job for most but I
get waves and waves of attacks that
are if you know nerve pain you guys know
but if you don't I hope you never have
to feel ner pain because it's uh as
close to the worst you can imagine as
possible I I I've had other nerve pain
before but not this type of thing and I
got to tell you it's bad just bad so uh
it keeps it loose and uh anytime I start
to feel the pain starting to come a wave
if I put this on it'll be all right
but it has meant that I have for the
last 5 days not been able to leave much
every time I think I'm better like I I
start to feel better and you know
everything's like okay look I think I'm
cured sort of thing um I'm always
treated with uh a little bit of reality
like the last time I came in 3 days ago
I was like wow it was like 8 hours no
pain nothing everything seemed fine and
we came down here sat for a couple
minutes here then I said hey let's go
for a walk on the beach we only got 12
15 ft 20 ft away something like that and
there's just one of the worst waves I've
had of pain and they last sometimes 10
minutes and sometimes it last like an
hour or longer so but uh it's not gone
not
gone until we find that nerve like that
nerve gets freed that's pinched in there
unfortunately I'm going to be dealing
with this so I'm doing all the different
stretches and exercises that you're
supposed to do um we're heating it up
CAD has been absolute gem for me doing
uh massaging and constantly just trying
to take care of me like she's been
Superstar she's been here every night
doesn't matter uh what needs to be done
she's taking care of everything she's
actually currently right now at a bir um
I guess when you start a business here
and this is a really amazing thing the
bir so the tax Revenue Agency here uh
put you through a course and you have
it's mandatory you have to take this
course so if you want to open a business
or start a business or anything you have
to sit in there and go through this
whole thing now we have accountants so
you know generally that would probably
dissuade he wouldn't really need it that
much because the accountant's going to
tell you what they need from you but uh
and this is so invaluable though because
uh there's so many small businesses out
there they're just trying to do it
themselves and on their
part they're getting rid of the excuse
that I didn't know right you won't be
able to say that anymore they put you
through a course they explained it to
you you did know so that gets rid of any
ignorance plea or anything like that but
uh yeah so anyway she's at that right
now um and then we have a lot of
supplies coming and stuff so I came in
to pay for those while she's out at the
other one and uh but things have been
very good been a lot of xats coming
through and people asking um where's
Michael where's Michael and stuff like
that and I want to thank you all for you
know keep coming in even though I'm not
not here and uh and still being very
supportive so all of you you guys have
been all so good to hopefully I get past
all this soon because I have like lots
of plans like one is involving um like
snorkeling and going all over to
different islands and stuff like that I
have a wedding coming up I missed a
wedding just last Sunday in cariss which
uh the mayor was officiating and it was
from subscribers that came and stayed
across the street and they were here and
they asked me to come and I said okay
yeah me and Cat will come and
unfortunately we didn't have a contact
with them oh she's back there we go and
so yeah without that contact we weren't
able to tell them we weren't able to
make it and what happened but I'm sure
they they probably saw the post I know
mommy's back
woohoo
anyway so uh yeah we'll see how this day
goes but I just want to let everybody
know yes I'm alive it's not a heart
thing it's not anything like that it is
a pinch nerve so we're talking you know
numbness in legs at times and arms it's
a really weird feeling because the air
conditioning will feel like hot air not
cold air in that one spot only and stuff
like that really really weird stuff but
mostly it's just both sides of my neck
now it doesn't it just picks and chooses
what side they decide to attack me on
and then right up into your brain and
then
just anyway don't feel sorry for me or
anything everybody's been through this
most people by the time they get to my
age go through some kind of like back
muscle strain something we're all going
to go through it it sucks but we tough
it out do
good where's chicky where's
chicky you freeze up with the camera
there he is there's
chicky
yeah oh and there's the other
chicky all went
fine yes so uh I have been obviously
kind of bedro so I've been able to see
what's going on today and wow Luzon is
getting slammed with so much rain so
much flooding I found all these like
incredible like we're talking up to here
water in the streets and you see here
this is the Philippines so people are
diving swimming just like totally acting
as if it's normal there is a little
literal car floating in the water as the
bus pushes awake and it just causes it
to float away unbelievable but uh very
very resilient people in the Philippines
uh that's a Cyclone that you can see
it's just like way up here and it's
quite large uh forming into a typhoon it
may have already formed in typhoon
couldn't think of it but uh if you're
wondering no yes elu elu has been
getting pretty hit pretty hard with a
lot of rain a lot of flooding but we
haven't been here like we get a rain but
it's like an hour 2 hours that kind of
thing there's been no flooding no issues
you know our Tide's coming in right now
as you can see and it does come in
higher than normal now we've got it all
the way up to there the sand where it
sometimes will push up
but it'll start to recede soon and yeah
that'll be the height of it so we don't
have much of a Beach right now as you
can
see a little bit of sand here but not
much all the way down
well little that was unexpected just
came back from the
hospital not long after I recorded those
things I don't even how did it start how
did it
start I don't remember how it started I
I walked over here to the bar you were
here yeah and I just started
shaking um yeah started shaking yeah I
started shaking like crazy and she's
like sit down so I sit down and I said
give me some water right you got me cold
water when I tried to drink it I
couldn't
swallow oh and it was covered it soaked
right I was soaking wet and shaking like
crazy uncontrollably and felt nauseous
super super
nauseous and obviously that's like
totally freaky cuz that's not something
that's been happening to me so I it
doesn't make any sense it doesn't add up
and uh uh then it came sitting back down
here and you know I'm I'm ice cold but
I'm covered in sweat just covered head
to toe and I'm still shaking like crazy
and feeling like I can't walk I can't
stand immediately I got a pen I was
trying to see if I can still write like
you know had a stroke or something that
kind of thing I was thinking about
somebody got it in my head and then of
course when I Google these things it's
like Parkinson I'm like what the so
anyway thanks to a friend of our who
sent over a van immediately and uh the
hospital was so St Anthony right St
Anthony Hospital you guys have been
amazing they were amazing they were
waiting the moment we walked in boom
wheelchair is already there brought me
in straight away run their round of
tests on to me and
everything and uh no nothing uh so yeah
other than obviously what I have going
on um can be change anything that's the
problem with know hold muscles and all
that kind of stuff is it pinch nerves
things like that um controls every part
of your brain with your nerves so
anything can happen so now we're going
to have some food because apparently I
need to eat that's probably another
reason didn't really eat very
much yeah yeah you made dinner for me

drink so yeah thank God the hospital
