  • Hey, everyone.

  • So, as you might have seen in the video title, I was sick for bid on.

  • I was hospitalized for one week on.

  • I decided to make a video body for two reasons.

  • One is that I just wanted to give you a quick update on what's going on with my life.

  • Just in case you were curious about why, you know, I haven't been uploading any videos recently on The second reason is that I felt like I learned a lot through this experience on.

  • I just wanted to share some of those lessons with you today.

  • Okay, so let me just quickly explain what happened exactly.

  • Eso about two weeks ago, I had what I thought was just a cold.

  • You know, I was just sneezing and coughing and stuff.

  • But then a few days later, I started having these really bad vision problems.

  • I had this really bad double vision everywhere.

  • Everything looked doubled.

  • You know, that's why I have this eye patch thing right now.

  • And then everything started looking blurry and a little bit shaky.

  • I'm basically my eyes.

  • My eyes were fixed in a you know, a certain position.

  • And that's what I have right now, too.

  • And then, you know, they didn't know what was going on at the beginning.

  • So I went into the hospital.

  • They started doing some tests on it, took them a few days to figure out what he was exactly.

  • But then they found that I have this rare condition called Miller Fisher.

  • So after they knew what it waas, I started getting treatments on.

  • After one week or so, I was able to get out of hospital and come back home here.

  • And, you know, I'm gonna try to get back into my regular routines as much as possible so I can make videos again on, you know, start doing more, quoting again.

  • But unfortunately, it might take me a while to get back into that, because apparently it takes most people with this condition at least 2 to 3 months to recover completely.

  • Visual wise s o, I might be, like, a little bit slower than usual until my vision's back to normal.

  • All right, so that's my personal update.

  • But let me now, quickly talk about some of the things I learned through this whole experience.

  • Just in case you might find them useful, too.

  • I'm just gonna share, you know, just three of them.

  • Even though there were other lessons I learned to the 1st 1 of those is about not caring about small things.

  • You know, I feel like I have this natural tendency to be sort of neurotic and, you know, worry about a lot of things.

  • One example is when I having a conversation or when I'm missing someone, I might say something, And I might worry a lot about what the other person things or if I, my, you know, offend them and stuff like that.

  • But then when I was at the hospital, when I was going through a lot of distress, I just couldn't care about those things because, you know, I was worrying about like, I'm not gonna eat today on my God, have you?

  • It's like, have my vision back on.

  • Um, I'm gonna vomit or not today and stuff like that.

  • So when I thought about like those other things, they just seemed so small and not that important on.

  • I feel like I brought some of that perspective back even now.

  • So when I think about like those small problems now, I just think as long as I'm healthy as long as I have my vision.

  • Still, I'm happy with that.

  • On dhe, I realized that I don't have to worry about those you know, small things anymore.

  • The second thing I learned is actually about a software development.

  • Eso.

  • When I started having this condition about two weeks ago, my eyesight was, like, even worse than it is now.

  • You know, Like I said earlier, a lot of double vision, everything looks shaky on blurry on.

  • Looking at anything was really hard on, Like, even reading on the screen.

  • I couldn't do it properly s so I started using this feature called Voiceover on iPhone.

  • Let me just quickly show you what it's like first.

  • So once you're turning voiceover, it starts reading everything on the screen that you touch s O, for example, on the home screen, you can basically touch the screen.

  • Thio.

  • Try to find out that you wanna launch Google Maps Safari sitting with her Page two.

  • If I adjust dog forest, double tap to open and then once you find it, You know, in this case, forest one of my favorite APS.

  • You could just do this to launch.

  • What's that picked up for us?

  • Double tap to open forest, many VT a new button and then in the app itself to you know, I could just touch the screen to try to find the button that I wanna click.

  • 10 plan button plan did cancel a button just like that.

  • So it's a good feature for anyone who's visually impaired or blind.

  • But he turned out not all APS support voiceover equally, for example, for messaging.

  • I personally found that you know, my messages on Facebook Messenger are pretty pretty easy to use his voice over on.

  • They support voiceover, you know better than some of the other messaging apps, for example, Slack or instagram s.

  • O.

  • I would say, you know, if you're ever in a position to develop an app or maybe a website, I think it would be really great if you could take a moment to think about people like me and other people who have vision problems or other disability issues that make it harder for them to use your app.

  • Uh, you know, if you could think about like how to make your app as accessible as possible to as many people as possible.

  • I think that'll be a good thing, all right, The third on final lesson that I learned through this experience that I wanted to share today is about how important it is to have strong relationships.

  • I mean, it's like a cliche, but I really think it's true.

  • You know, when I was at the hospital like a mission earlier, I was going through a lot of emotional and physical distress.

  • Honestly, I was having hard times like I cried a little bit on Dhe, basically like, it was really tough for me on DDE.

  • What helped me get through was the fact that I had my girlfriend around, you know, she was visiting me a lot.

  • And helping me was like food and other things on the fact that I had friends come over sometimes and visit me in person or call me or Mrs me to encourage me.

  • And, you know, that was, like, really helpful on DDE.

  • You know who you are if you're one of those people.

  • I already thanked them, but I wanna think that by getting here.

  • All right.

  • Uh, so that's all I wanted to talk about in this video.

  • Uh, thank you.

  • Also, always for watching my videos.

  • And by the way, thank you for letting me hit one million subscribers.

  • This is, like, super exciting to me.

  • I thought I was gonna hit it, you know, at some point, but I didn't think I was gonna hit in a, uh, this landmark, Asa soon.

  • So I'm super psyched about that.

  • Thank you.

  • It's like the population of Vancouver.

  • I guess my next goal is gonna be one William followers on instagram on DDE Uh, 10 million here on YouTube.

  • Yeah.

  • I don't know if I could get there, but I'll try my best anyway, Thank you so much.

  • I'll see you guys in the next video.

Hey, everyone.
