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

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

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

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

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

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.

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?

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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

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.

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

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