who's gonna tell you a story about him
being very sick and it just came and I
pierced right through my heart oh hey
you're back so what happened I actually
don't really know I let's go all the way
back to like two and a half to three
weeks ago when I went to VidCon you
okay it was on in London I had never
gone to a VidCon in London at all I
barely ever go to any sort of European
convention so I thought great VidCon
it's in London it's close by it's only
like an hour and 45 minutes drive from
here I'll go to that and I get to
finally meet a lot of the European
audience who normally never get to be
able to afford to go to all the American
conventions it was very fun I had a
great time I got to hang out with some
of my friends there Erin and Brent came
over I got to hang out with PJ and
Sophie and all those beautiful people
and I got to meet a lot of you guys I
got to do assigning a panel everything
was great until about four days after I
came back three days I had to get a
tooth removed
I had a rogue tooth that used to stick
out the side of my jaw here that I
thought would have to be removed years
ago never was but now I'm getting
Invisalign so they were like that's got
to go because it'll move all the bones
and everything to try and get that in
and it'll take probably twice as long
just to get it in and I'm like you know
what take the tooth I don't need it it's
stupid doesn't even pay rent in my mouth
but I have forgot the tooth removed I
went home I didn't feel great I started
to get a bit of a cold I started to get
stuffed up I started to get a runny nose
and I thought oh oh I got sick couple of
days go by my throat starts to get a
little scratchy because my nose is all
bummed up and I'm just sleeping and bald
like my mouth is open all night perfect
time for spiders to get in and then one
day I woke up I was floored I was very
very sick just completely bunked up in
my head but I these current times in the
world we're living in right now
the paranoia kind of sets in because
everyone's talking about coronavirus
everyone's talking about kovat 19 as
it's actually called and I legitimately
did start to get a little paranoid
because going to a convention which was
not the best idea but back then it
wasn't as bad as it is now and I was
sanitizing I was washing I was being
very careful with my hands but I did
meet a lot of people gave a lot of hugs
gave a lot of handshakes what have you
not the smartest decision on my part we
probably should have had everyone
sanitized before they came up but I
didn't want to feel like I was being
rude even though I feel like I was well
within my rights to do so whatever water
under the bridge but I I didn't like get
a fever I didn't get a cough these are
the things that people say are
symptomatic of coronavirus but it was
still like a little paranoid wondering
if I really did take all the precautions
and as someone who has asthma I was kind
of worried about it as well because
shortness of breath is also a byproduct
of that or a symptom of it whatever
couple of days go by started getting a
little bit of a cough started to get a
little more worried then it kind of just
passed like the head cold started to
drift out it all started to like like
drain out of my head and I was like okay
it was just a head cold I'm fine and
then one morning we didn't eat anything
crazy we've eaten at this particular
place many many times me and my
girlfriend and she wasn't sick at all
and one morning I woke up I was boiling
alive in bed and I thought oh oh I have
a fever now that's even scarier okay
I want to overshare a little bit I woke
up and I really had to go to the
bathroom not out of this end out of the
other end I have never gotten food
poisoning before in my entire life I had
no idea what it was actually like to
feel poisoned by food the thing that
you're supposed to put in your mouth
anyway and I was just running back and
forth to the bathroom all morning
I was buckled over in like stomach
cramps I felt awful I was really hot and
bothered and I thought oh god no this is
getting worse thankfully that passed
very quickly it only lasted like two
days and I thought man that I really
just get food poisoned after having a
really bad cold and then it got even
worse because I was standing around one
day and suddenly I started to feel short
of breath and then it started to get
even more worrisome now I'm not trying
to like fear monger
or anything like that with this video
I'm just trying to tell you what exactly
happened to me I my thought process
going through it I'll get to a point
eventually but I was getting very
worried because again I have asthma and
all of these different things lining up
I was like it could be this thing it
could be that thing could be food
poisoning could be a cold could be a flu
could be worse so I started to get short
of breath and I thought okay it's time
to make a doctor's appointment because
I'm
starting to actually get worried and if
it is an asthma thing I should
definitely go to the doctor anyway
because I've had asthma as a kid I got
to like my teenage years I used to take
inhalers every morning and every night
just to make sure my Airways were open
and they stayed open if any of you know
if any of you have taken inhalers I took
a blue one and a brown one any of you in
the same boat
asthma gang and I I haven't had taken
inhalers in years when I was in my teen
years they were like you don't really
need these anymore because your asthma
is not bad anymore and they said that
you've kind of grown out of it a little
bit I still had kind of sports asthma
when you run around and you get a little
short of breaths that way but it passes
really quickly but this was not passing
and a couple of days go by before the
doctor was ready and before my
appointment could actually be made but
by the time I actually got to go to the
doctor everything had finally like
cleared out of my system I woke up that
was the first morning I woke up feeling
really good
of course the day I'm actually going to
the doctor and when I went there did a
bunch of checks of course they have to
check to make sure okay is a corona
virus or not because it's a it's a very
sensitive time let's say I'm trying to
eat choose my words carefully because I
don't want to add to the fear and panic
of things that's going on because I'm
very well aware of the influence the
words that I'm using have right now for
the amount of people who are probably
watching this video but I went in we did
a bunch of tests check my lungs he did a
bunch of tests that way and got the
all-clear I was fine I got blood tests
they all came back fine I'm a little low
on vitamin D but everything seemed fine
everything they took seemed good my my
breath capacity or my peak flow as they
call it is a little on the lower side
for someone of my age and height but
that's again part of the asthma it's
it's nothing more I've done these peak
flow tests and if anything my lung
capacities gotten better than the last
time I took one when I was a teenager so
gave me an inhaler as soon as I took
that perfect everything's back to normal
I felt perfectly healthy once more but
the thing the thing about it all was
after doing a lot of the tests he turned
to me he was like in all honesty
you could have had it in regards to
corona but now it's gone and I was like
um excuse me you don't just drop that on
somebody like that I didn't have it of
course not I I didn't have a fever
I didn't have a cough I was taking my
temperature very regularly all the
symptoms that should have gotten worse
over time
did not get worse if anything they just
went away very quickly and I don't think
it would go away that quickly but I did
have that moment where I was like oh God
okay time to start thinking of game
plans and time to like work everything
out and go to the doctor just make sure
everything's in the clear thankfully I'm
perfectly healthy again it was just a
cold then I got food poisoned and
because I went through so much my
husband was like you know what I'm gonna
come back because everybody else is
coming back but now I'm I'm perfectly
healthy again but I'm taking it easy
that's why I haven't uploaded any videos
I actually haven't recorded in over a
week the last video is that you guys saw
were stuff that I had prepped in advance
and I was like I was gearing up to do a
lot more videos again and then I got
sick so I was like okay I'll just I'll
just pepper these out and then whatever
I don't have I don't have put in this
last week I've started to just think
about things a lot more and reflect on
things a bit and just kind of get my
head in order of what I want to do when
I come back I'm probably still gonna
take a little bit off I'm not going to
come back to videos fully yet I'll do a
little bit here and there I do want to
deal with a the you choose mean things
soon before the actual you choose figure
comes out but I am taking it easy I'm
taking this time to kind of de-stress
and relax my body and not do anything
too hectic and not record a billion
videos in one day and then prep for
weeks and weeks and weeks or anything
like that I'm gonna take it easy I'm
gonna take this as like a nice sign to
be like you know what just relax a
little in the last week I finally got
around to playing soma for the first
time frictional game that I have never
fully finished and phenomenal game I
highly recommend all of you played so
god damn good stories excellent Horrors
excellent sceneries excellent the sound
design is probably the best part at the
game I finally got around to watching
Chernobyl which we watched one episode
after coming back jet lag from somewhere
didn't like it and thought okay
everybody else loves it I should give it
a chance finally ended up watching it
[ __ ]
loved it amazing and now that that guy
who wrote that is making a Last of Us
HBO show I was I gotta check out what
this guy has done with this to see what
its gonna be like and now I'm very very
excited but the point I want to make
with this video again is to not instill
fear in people and make everybody worry
that every tiny symptom they have is
coronavirus because again I don't want
to make light of what's going on I don't
want to make a joke out of it and I
don't want to talk about it in a manner
that makes me feel like I'm not taking
it seriously I do take it very seriously
there's a lot of stuff going on I'm not
gonna get into the details of what it is
and how to prevent it or not so much how
to prevent it but the ins and outs of
what it causes and everything because
I'm not an expert on it I don't think
you should go to a [ __ ] youtuber
who's not educated on it - who get your
information about it all I will say is
please for the love of God be safe
be cognizant of what you're doing it's
very hard to change muscle-memory i'ma
face torture by nature I pick my nose
every now and then when something crusty
gets up in there my nose gets dry a lot
of this stuff I had to kind of like
change my habits a little bit just wash
your hands very diligently don't just
bring your hands under water and think
you're done please take this seriously
please go out there and be aware of
other people around don't you know just
use your head it's not that hard it's
one of those things that we shouldn't
have to say like hey wash your hands
it's something that everyone should be
doing anyway I wash my hands very
diligently anyway but even now I'm being
just extra careful just be safe look
after yourselves try not to go out when
you don't need to just follow all the
information from places online that are
telling you what to do and how to
prepare for it and how to avoid
unnecessary risks because it is it is a
difficult time we're going through right
now
a lot of events are getting canceled
twitchcon in Europe just got canceled I
was planning on going to that I think
I'm not sure I haven't heard a single
thing about it yet and I'm not speaking
as an authority on this but I'm curious
what VidCon la is gonna do because I did
plan on going to that one next but it
seems like that might get cancelled
eventually again I
nothing about it I'm not saying it isn't
any sort of insider information so don't
go around saying hey it's penciled I
have no idea it's just everything else
is getting cancelled right now the NBA
got cancelled flights to and from Europe
are canceled except UK to America it's
it's a very difficult time we're going
through right now I think that we're all
gonna get through it I think I'm very
optimistic about the outcomes and where
things are going but that does not mean
that you should be flippant with what's
going on and I think that you should be
very aware of it read up on it talk to
people about it don't make any
unnecessary trips or Oh necessary social
gatherings just to make sure because the
last thing we want is this thing to
spread even more so I'm being I'm being
a bit more responsible in that regard
I'm trying not to go out and just even
when I was actually sick with my cold I
didn't go out and meet friends or
anything because I date they were all
meeting up and I was like I'm gonna stay
at home guys as much as I want to go out
and hang out with you guys I'm just
gonna stay at home just to make sure
that I don't get you sick in any way
shape or form so I need sort of I mean I
had no social events coming up soon
anyway but just be careful be safe out
there and take care of yourselves please
again I'm being very careful with the
words that I'm using because I don't
want to add to the fear and panic that's
going on in the world that's not my
intent with this video at all I just
want people to know where I was and I
wanted to do it in a story time fashion
but I'm probably gonna be on off YouTube
in the next couple of days and the next
week I don't know I'm just not really in
the mood to record things anyway I don't
feel like I'm at a hundred percent in
regards to my energy levels and my
motivation to actually record I'm taking
this time to actually sit back relax
catch up on stuff that I've missed and
just do some extra stuff that I don't
have to sit here and yell at a camera as
much so thank you guys for understanding
that and I'll be back eventually
whenever I'm at full capacity again I
think that's it
