how he is feeling
after this
complicated diagnosis
and to thank him for the support received.

"I'm doing very well, to be honest," the scriptwriter begins by saying in the video he shared from Patricia's profile. "It
changed my life a lot.
If I'm honest, what has changed me the most and what limits me the most is my eyesight,
not really seeing I handle it well, but it's what complicates me the most.
Every time, you know, with The right eye does nothing, but with the left I see more and more. I don't see, because I don't have visibility, but
I can now navigate the street,"
he explained.

It has been a
very complicated few months
for the couple in which they have been on the verge of death due to the cryptococcal meningitis that was diagnosed. An infection of the central nervous system caused by a fungus.
Patricia was talking about all this a few months ago. "I was
with him in the hospital for four months,
I fed him because I told the hospital that I
wanted to put him on a diet,
I helped myself from friends and family to bring me the dishes because
he didn't leave the hospital.
Then I made him I cleaned his bed, I cleaned him... The only physical contact he had was me. Since he lost everything, he went into his universe... I don't know what to call him,
I wanted him to not feel alone,
I knew that at least my contact I would feel it...", declared the presenter.

Canut left the hospital
in a wheelchair
because he lost a lot of muscle mass (he lost 18 kilos) and could not stand up. She also
lost her taste and smell,
as well as the vision in one eye, after a thrombosis. Some
consequences
that she carries today. But with the help of
physios and rehabilitators,
she was taught to walk again, as well as to write and communicate fluently. "For me, the hardest thing has been
regaining weight and muscle.
I lost 18 kilos and that was what led me to the wheelchair," she explains.
Now he feels much better, and it seems that he is getting back to himself, little by little. "I'm doing very well and I'm not going to stop,
I feel better,
I'm getting stronger. I'm walking perfectly now," he says, visibly encouraged.

In the same video in which he updated his condition, Canut also dedicated some nice words to his wife:
"You saved my life from the first moment
I got sick, because it was very complicated. It is a very complicated disease and
"You insisted a lot,
you fought a lot to get me a good diagnosis so they could start treating it." A thank you that ended with a
loving kiss
between them.
