 Frank give us an update Frank give us an update Frank give us an update my eyes are fucking crooked What what are you? What am I supposed to see you guys every day? So let me actually put my phone down somewhere cuz There's gonna be a little bit of an explanation, but long story short It's almost two in the morning we have a 545 a.m. Check-in at New York, I near for a surgery to correct my cross-eyes Going back a little bit About a month and a half after the surgery. I was kind of like sketched out I mean you guys noticed I was kind of cross-eyed. I was worried it wasn't gonna fix itself a lot. I was optimistic I started scheduling appointments to see other doctors and New York I near is kind of like the most famous well-known for the best doctors in New York, especially maybe even in the whole US. I'm not too sure about that, but That's where my health insurance is and that's close to me and that makes the most sense out of everything So want to see a few different optometrists and they basically told me I had strabismus, which is Misalignment of the eyes Which is caused by like a muscle imbalance because there's there's four muscles Basically, well, I'm not sure on that, but I think there's like four muscle areas that attach the eye top bottom left and right and If one is tighter than the other or one is looser than the other it can cause the eyes to be crossed in certain directions I Hope the lighting's okay, but I don't care So it could be up down left right and For me It's weird because after that surgery both of my eyes are pointing inward. So whatever the plastic surgeon did caused both of my eyes to point inward and after I went to The New York doctors and they confirmed I had strabismus. I asked those New York doctors Hey, how often have you seen this after orbital decompression? They said it was very rare So then after speaking to them I had my follow-up consultation with the plastic surgeon So just to get the timeline correct, you know a month and a half. I'm like, okay Maybe something's wrong here. So and then at the two-month point I was seeing the New York doctors and then I had my follow-up with the plastic surgeon at three months So I didn't like schedule anything or want to get any surgeries because at that two-month point The New York doctor basically told me I had to get surgery to fix it Because it was severe enough that it was not going to correct itself But I said, okay, hold on. Let's wait. Let's see what the plastic surgeon says. Hopefully something optimistic and He basically told me that he never saw this happen before in both eyes He did say that he has had patients that have had issues in one eye He has had patients that had to get a strabismus surgery in one eye, but not like this From what I looked up If people get orbital decompression, there's a 15% chance of a misalignment He was giving me statistics saying there's a 3% chance now. He never told me I would be cross-eyed He told me I had a chance of double vision. He did not mention that I would also be cross-eyed, which You know might have deterred me from getting the surgery but Assuming what he was saying was in 3% of his procedures that was his personal I guess you would say success or failure rate with patients having issues with eye misalignment Which compared to medical literature that I've read the medical literature was much higher But the thing is if he's telling me 3% of his cases had misalignment in one eye, you know What's 3% of 3% I did the math once at some I don't remember exactly, but it's something crazy It's like it's like 0.1% chance that both of my eyes would have been misaligned, which I Mean I kind of believe him if he's telling me it's never happened before because Statistically speaking, I mean even a 15% chance of 15% or 10% of 10% It's very very low But you know to get to get the short ends of the stick that is very seems to be very very unlucky So it wasn't helpful because he basically said he never saw up before and And now I got to go to these other surgeons to try to correct the issue So, you know, I'm not too happy about it. You know, I was telling myself, you know, this plastic surgery I got in California a few months ago. We're gonna be the last plastic surgery I would ever get in my life and here I am waking up at 2 a.m. To get a taxi to New York to go get this This surgery, so I'm not happy about this Hopefully it's just this one surgery and then it's fixed and I never have to go under anesthesia again in my life But yeah, that's that's the eye update I guess so we're going to get him fixed He's supposed to do he said want he said doing fixing one eye has a 90% chance of Fixing both of them. So hopefully that's the truth. Hopefully it's not some weird thing where The misalignment was caused surgically and both of them have to be corrected surgically. I hope that's not the case I have a feeling it might be because You know, I mean after that procedure After that procedure both of them were misaligned and I Have a bad memory, but I think it's called Esotropia where the eyes point inward and Exotropia is when the eyes point outward Some of you guys are suggesting. Oh, you could fix it with exercises people have fixed lazy eyes with exercises Esotropia where the eyes point inward? It's it's the one where it can't really get fixed with eye exercises the others have seen some success but especially Both eyes if one eye was off Then you could cover it the other eye and strengthen the eye But the problem is if both eyes are pointing inward The only way to really strengthen them is to cover one and get it to focus but if you cover one, you know one eye gets better and the other stays bad and It never gets fixed in the surgery is basically the only option or I hope hoping it gets better on its own. I don't I've have not seen any evidence whatsoever that Esotropia can be fixed on its own and More importantly Everything passed about the refeed in front of me. I see two of which is not easy. It's like my vision is very messed up It's very difficult to drive it's you know, I get it's confusing It's hard to do even just my day-to-day tasks and I definitely don't like look I don't I don't make eye contact with people anymore because I know my eyes are fucked I don't like making eye contact with people anymore So hopefully we go we got a fix today. It's a very I'm not too upset about it because it's it's not a crazy procedure. It has a very high success rate It can be done again. You know, it's nothing insane. It's not the end It's not crazy insane thing to get done So that's enough yapping It's a few hour drive to New York then probably few hours in the hospital and then all a few hour drive back home Hopefully nice quick and easy in and out and hopefully the one thing I'm worried about If this is it, I'll be happy if I got to get the other eye done to it's I don't know I'll be I'll be a little upset if I got to do another because Surgery's a big deal. Okay, you got it. You got to get you got to see the doctor You got to get pre-surgical screening you guys because it's a big deal. It's not it's not easy But anyway, let's got to get ready to go so maybe we'll update you guys in the hospital All right guys the Drive-in was a nightmare. I'll save that story for later, but we're showing the hospital bed. It's like 645 so surgery supposed to be 730 I Don't have clothing on but I got the head that on for now, so I'm feeling okay Thank fucking Christ that was a fucking nightmare and not the surgery guys The taxi holy fuck Worse, I I've never thought I was gonna die so certainly in my life, but We'll save that story after the eye update So I just got home from the surgery Let me get inside so you guys can see a little better It's about 2 p.m. I should have been home at 1 p.m. But well and that explanation is part of the taxi story My eyes are like really dry a little irritated. I'm blinking a lot I'm definitely gonna go try to lay down after I eat something Just hopefully the irritation goes away So I think you guys can kind of tell Operating on my right eye my right eye is straight I think a little swollen, but right eye is straight and left eye is Is not the one they operated on This looks kind of funky man. Is it just swollen? Yeah, I think it's just swollen I Think it's a little swollen but um so what's gonna happen is I'm just going over here. Look in the mirror real quick. What's gonna happen is Now that the right eye is straight and more importantly, I can see straight. I don't have double vision anymore The the left eye should correct itself over the next three weeks and both of my eyes should be straight So this is definitely not an indicator of What it's gonna look like only two or three weeks. I trust this doctor more than the previous one and It should be good so We got to the got to the city too early at 4 45 Cuz I actually told the taxi driver an hour too early and So I hung out in the car for an hour. We got in the the we got in the hospital 5 45 a.m. At our check-in time Took about 15 minutes to get me upstairs Answered some questions for the nurse Was basically suited up in the hospital gown by 6 30 and then Hung around for about an hour Few doctors and nurses talked to me in between but it was mostly me me me sitting in the bed for about an hour and then Doctor came talked to me and then we'll be into and we'll be into the surgery room and I was basically out I Was out like a light within maybe five minutes and then Woke up about 9 30 Came to my godforsaken taxi driver was there to pick me up and then um then we came back So surgery went well He operated as I said just on the right eye. I could fucking see now I can see yeah so before For the past four months Everything I saw was double now Still still slight focusing issues, which is fine. It's gonna fix itself by now. I can see normally which is you know Which is good so I'm looking forward to seeing how the next few weeks is gonna go. I'm not I'm not gonna wait until like The appointment next week, or I'm not gonna wait. I'm really congested probably because I was in the hospital I need to do an eye diamonds, but Yeah, I'm just gonna post this just so you guys know you guys been asking me and then we'll do another update in a month So we have the initial update everything went well. We're just waiting for the left eye to correct itself now and So then we'll do that update like three or four weeks from now kind of final surgery update. Hopefully it's good I mean, I think it's good. He said it's a 90% chance. I won't have to get the other eye done Which I'm hoping for but honestly, it wasn't that bad. I wouldn't mind if I really had to absolutely get another procedure so Yeah, I mean you guys can look up for business surgery if you want to know more about that With a block of my camera Yeah, if you guys want to look up for business surgery you guys can look more about that They basically they hold the eye open. They turn the eye They they make an incision and they cut the muscle and they put move the muscle back so that the eye can move But no my eyes are my eyes are definitely very irritated and dry right now God forbid they give me some fucking oxy cotton so I can sleep, right? I'll make a whole fucking separate video on the painkillers dude. It's fucking ridiculous all right We're trying to think if there's anything else to touch on the eye surgery but Hopefully that's the last surgery I forget in my life Okay, so let's talk about this fucking taxi horror story dude. This is fucking insane What topped it off dude was what the worst charge back ever dude 900 I as soon as I got out of the fucking surgery room into the into the taxi Saw my emails fucking nine hundred dollar charge back fucking bank sided with the customer dude I'm about to some fucking cocksucker and in like Morningside Heights. His name is Justin I mean, I swear fucking God. I will get my nine hundred dollars back. I swear to fucking guy I can't that that that that was the eye. That was the icing that that made it fucking worse I was like that happening was like all right. I'm definitely telling this taxi story. I'm definitely fucking telling it. So let's Let's sit down for this one. This was fucking horrendous All right, so I call this taxi guy up last week. He says he could do it for 750 take me to Take me to New York Wait for me for my surgery son me out of the hospital and take me back now seven hundred fifty dollars the Uber each way would probably be 250 and then I was like 250 dollars from him sitting there and signing me out. I probably spent more on a nurse service So I thought it was a good deal, but I Did have a friend over here. I might have been able to I don't know if my friend was available But I might have been able to ask my friend to drive me I'm sure you would have done it for five or six hundred bucks So I could have saved a few hundred dollars on Using my friend a few hundred dollars Not that big of a deal to me guys as you know, I'm losing thousands of dollars. We can fucking charge back So whether I save three hundred dollars on a cab ride or not is pretty insignificant, dude It's pretty insignificant so cab driver shows up to my place two in the morning and It's an older. It's an old guy not older guy the guy's fucking 80 or 85 I don't if I have to place a bet probably 80 But completely white hair Older guy old guy driving a fucking I don't know a 20 year old Ford car like not a small sedan not a safe car to be driving really And it's it's pitch black. It's 2 a.m. So this guy's driving about About half a mile down the road from my keep my this is a two hour 45 minute drive Half a mile down the road from my house. I thought we almost get an accident guys swarms hit some branches on the road I was like, is this what is this what I'm in for dude? We keep driving Get on the highway Almost get killed again There was a construction area and the guy didn't see that the construction area was still going and he like Smashed his tires on the on these big rubber bumpers on the road I thought I thought he hit something bad. I thought he misaligned his tires was gonna have to stop the car Then about 20 minutes after that Guy guy was about to try to cut he was this guy kept speeding up to pass all these trucks But he's driving this rinky dink Ford in the middle of the night pitch black He's going to fucking 80 90 to pass these trailers cars shaking like crazy car needed a wheel alignment and two new struts 100% cars shaking like fucking crazy. This guy's nuts get speeded up to 80 90 to pass these trailers I explained to him look. We're not in a rush. We're gonna be way too early Take your time. I said it like three times. So then there's a merch side Not a bird side It might be called a bird side It's where the two lanes combined and he's trying to he's about to try to pass this trailer when the two lanes are combined I say whoa, whoa, whoa, stop. I said totally gotta stop because I thought I was gonna get killed I thought he's about to drive into the guardrail so Those were three near-death incidents within the first 30 minutes of driving And I was like holy fuck. I bet you I Was like after guys, I'm not the whole the story yet, but God wants me here to help people. That's all I have to fucking say if I lived through this fucking taxi driver Nothing's gonna fucking kill me at this point, bro. Nothing. Holy fuck. So anyway after that incident Then again, it's fucking pitch black 2 a.m Old guy. He's flashing his brights on him off guys going fucking 70 80 which I've probably been driving that fast in my car, but this car is older It's fucking shaking like crazy. This guy's fucking old. He doesn't have a gps mount He's looking down at his own guys. By the way, this is a professional taxi company and this is their company vehicle so bro I need some water. Hold on ran out of Ran out of mountain valley. I got this romanian water I actually had it is weird. I had a dream about a mini vampire after I drank this no, like I'll save that story for another video so This guy's just going too fucking fast Like I understand why this guy this guy keeps going 70 80 I told him put I didn't want to like backseat drive him and I told him already I told him three fucking times. Hey take your time. We're gonna be really early, but he I was I was just nervous the whole fucking ride there, dude And then what was the funny? I was fucking laughing. I was fucking dying, dude We he stopped we stopped at a rest stop in jersey, but it's like the beginning of jersey So we're like maybe halfway into halfway into new york not even We go to pull to a rest stop I get on the back of the car I just start peeing in the in the parking lot because that's what I do Sometimes I have some bladder issues. I just I just open my car door I pee out the car. I get back in the car. He he was walking over into the rest stop I'm guessing to use the bathroom or something, but he saw it was closed So then I see this guy walking over and it's like a little pit. It's like a He he was walking towards the building and to the right of the building in the front Was like a little a little circular pit Where like maybe you said did you see a park that has like concrete stairs and stuff you can go and sit down in Guy fucking I couldn't believe if what I was seeing was real Guy fucking flew into the pit. He fucking flew He like he did like a fucking barrel all into the pit and I was looking I took a double take I was because I still have I still have double vision right after I stopped double vision before the surgery So I was like, what the fuck am I looking at? Is that the same guy that just fucking got out the car with me? It was driving me. Is he fucking dead? Is he gonna get back up 80 year old guy 80 year old fucking guy. He walks fucking literally fucking flew No joke like at least fucking five or six feet like in the air And he fucking rolled And I couldn't look I just turned around and I was like, holy fuck. I'm gonna die today I'm gonna fucking die today. Holy fuck. I didn't know what to do I was like, am I gonna have to fucking call an uber to find me at this fucking rest stop to take me to New York? Because I had the surgery time Guy comes back to the fucking car. He was smoking a cigarette. That's why he was walking to the pit to smoke a cigarette Guy walks back to the fucking car. He was like Oh, did you see that? I was like, no, no, I was looking the other way because I was like, holy fuck I thought the guy was gonna die. I'm not talking to my fucking son Uh And he was like, oh, I took a tumble. I was like, yeah, you all right. You okay? He's like, yeah Yeah, I didn't see the stairs and I was like, bro. No fucking shit. You didn't see the fucking cliff You jumped off of holy fuck. This is fucking nuts. This is the craziest fucking shit. I've ever seen in my life I'm gonna fucking die tonight. Holy fuck holy fuck okay, so so We get back in the car And then I'm trying to like close my I didn't sleep at all the night before I was Fucking up myself in the routine as usual But so I was trying to get some sleep in the car, but I was so fucking nervous I kept opening my eyes and looking and seeing how fast this guy was going And it was just dude. He was just going too fucking fat There was he if he could just gone 55 He was going 55 60 most of the time But there were parts where he was fucking speeding up and anytime you go over 60 in that fucking car, dude It's fucking dangerous. It's like trying to fucking to you don't basically fucking near 2000 Toyota Corolla So holy fuck And he fucking xanax and fucking five oxycone after that fucking shit. Holy fuck guys They went amazing Sergio went amazing this fucking taxi drive almost gave me a fucking stroke. Holy fuck Okay, so Yeah, then on and off him going a little too fast We finally get close and as we get closer to the city Thankfully in jersey, there's more fucking cars on the road So this lunatic stopped going fucking 90 in this shit box. So now that there's more cars on the road He can't just fucking like So thankfully as we got closer to the city when there are more cars Um, it was it was a little safer drive So then we get into Manhattan. We get into the city. We drive through the city That wasn't that bad, uh, because you know, you can't you can't you can't drive so fast in the city Uh, we get there early. He goes to iHop. I chill in the car for an hour. Then I check into the hospital Then When I woke up after surgery He was he was waiting there. He already had me basically signed out And we basically immediately left Now my eyes Right when I got out of surgery My vision was too blurry. I could not see Now I can kind of see it's okay But my vision was too blurry because if something they put on my eyes right out of surgery Uh, so I was kind of like hobbling around. I couldn't really see I couldn't really see how this guy was driving or where he was going But it was date now. It's daytime right now. It's daytime. So I was because I was thinking I was like, you know what If I don't fucking die on the way to the hospital It was meant to fucking be This guy's gonna fix my eyes. That's the way I felt about it. And I was like, you know, it All right, so if we make it to the hospital, it's gonna be daytime out of the way back. So Even this guy drives like the complete unhinged lunatic that he is Bro, I don't know why I'm so congested. It must be something that hospital air in the new york air My nasal cavity is completely clogged uh So yeah, I figured daytime is gonna be a lot safer because the guy could fucking seem better But he was he I was still uncomfortable with how he was driving He was still going a little fast 70 80 and that car is not safe I was getting motion sickness He was like because when you go 70 80 in a car like that even if the highway's a little curved. It's like Thankfully, I made him stop like six times because I had to use the bathroom. So I had some fucking breaks um and again Because because my vision was foggy I couldn't really see or and I was a little out of it. I couldn't really see her or worried about the driving too much But about two hours into the trip It's supposed to be a two and a half hour drive two hour and 15 minute drive So about two hours into the trip. I checked my gps and it says an hour and a half. I'm like, what the fuck is this guy doing? And he he missed he missed like two fucking exits and I had to start giving him directions So instead of getting to home at like 12 30 we got home at two so I wasn't happy about that hour and a half extra and then Yeah, top and I'm tapping off my eyes are so fucking irritated From the heat in the car and the wind. I just wanted to get the fuck home I ran out of eye drops in the car Stopped by fucking gas station got a bottle of fiji water. I was pouring fiji water in my eyes. We're so irritated I thought I got something in them, but I didn't had that um Uh, and we finally got fucking home And this guy didn't give me a fucking discount And as much as I would expose and trash talk to company. I think they're out of fucking business anyway I don't think they do any taxi service. So there's no fucking point even naming them, but Holy fuck What a fucking nightmare, dude What a fucking nightmare I had a hunch yesterday I was like the way the taxi guy talks to me on the phone. I was like, you know what? Let me just ask my friend first But then the taxi guy called me back and said he could do it I was like, okay, and the the main reason I went with the taxi Is because I didn't want my my guys and my employees and my friend to worry that I was getting surgery That was the main reason I did that was the main reason I went with the taxi I was like synonymous They're not gonna worry about me or anything. So that's why I wanted to do it But in hindsight, holy fuck. I lost 10 years off my fucking life today, dude. Holy fuck What the fuck? Yeah, I drank this Romanian water And I had a weird dream that this tiny little Romanian vampire was trying to kill me But he was made out of ceramic So I grabbed him and I took a hammer and I smashed his little head his weird fucking dream But I thought it was funny how I dreamed about a vampire after drinking Romanian water because Transylvania is in Romania, right? Dracula's castle. I don't know I don't know if my brain's working today Anyway That's my taxi ride. I'm pretty sure that's longer than the whole vlog is Holy fuck, dude What a fucking nightmare bro bro this fucking guy this fucking guy The fucking stairs. I was I was like, holy fuck that this can't be real He fucking fuck He fucking I thought the guy was I was like, is he gonna get back up? Holy fuck I literally turned around like this. Holy fuck. It was so fucking wild, dude. It was fucking insane Holy fuck, dude. I thought I was gonna die the whole fucking car I was like I was I was honestly hoping I was like, dude Please fucking crash into something because I don't want to give you stupid cocksuckers another fucking dime Look, I just I just lost 900 charge back more than this whole fucking trip cost me And I would gladly get my fucking head caved in to not give you stupid cocksuckers The fucking rest of the balance. Holy fuck, dude. What a fucking nightmare Holy fuck Oh All right guys, that's enough for one day Uh God fucking help me, dude. Dude. I'm fucking Holy fuck Holy fucking shit Fuck this shit, dude You see you see you see why you see why you should do shit Because I got that fucking plastic surgery four months ago I'm doing this is shit that happened when you start having to do shit There's too many when you start involving other people fucking taxi drivers, doctor's revenue There's too many fucking variables for crazy shit to happen And all it takes is one fucking nut job that that guys shouldn't be fucking driving at that age At least in that capacity that that car needs to be fucking fixed That is not a safe car for a tlc company and the guy needs to put a fucking I could have given them the five dollar fucking extra gps But I had him my fucking drawer to put on his fucking car So it doesn't have to fall there like a fucking goon bag. Holy all right guys I'm gonna lose my fucking mind my eyes fucking hurt. I need to go but See you guys for the next video
