If you have questions, you can send them to [email protected]. 00:45 Okay, so why don't you update me on what your goals and objectives are? Julie, what you want to get out of our time today and go from there. 01:22 She says you were fantastic. So here, she gave me your information. 01:26 All right, good. All right. Yeah, see if I can deliver. So 01:30 it's going on. I'm looking to build a space like here. So I'm taking inspiration. Okay, so as for my eyes. I used to have amazing Eagle Eye Vision, of course, like a lot of people. And as I started ageing, my my distant vision that used to be so acute, started to diminish. And then I was seeing an eye doctor at the time in Utah. And he suggested that I have cataract surgery, even though at the time I had 2015 vision. That's really good vision. And so I you know, so I didn't know I should have seen another doctor right. Now hindsight. So I had cataract surgery. And it turned out that they put the wrong prescription lens in my eye. And it was living hell, it was like looking at a kaleidoscope. My brain couldn't. Oh, it's horrible. And I couldn't see it all out of that body. So I went to another place and they took that lens out. And they put in a lens called a crystal lens. And I was really, really happy with it because it adjusts to your own iris and it will expand and contract. And then a couple days later, the doctor said okay, you can go back to your normal activities. And for me, my normal activities are pretty extreme. I'm a martial artist, and I went skiing and I just fell really, really hard, weird, a weird, weird, random fall. And I knocked the lens a little bit loose. And my vision in my left eye just has never been the same. So I lost the distant vision in that eye. But I can see up close. Okay, so my other I have had nothing done to it. I've been really leery. I do have a cataract in that. And I was recently diagnosed with macular, the onset of macular so, you know, I don't see well, obviously at night, I still have the halos around lights. And so I just, I just don't drive at night. I do wear a contact in that I when I when I drive or when I'm out and about and it does help but it's not perfect vision. And I do have glasses for distance if I want to watch TV or something like that. So other than that I don't wear corrective glasses normally. So that's it enough, in a nutshell. 04:29 Okay, so what would be your laundry list of priorities that you would like to work on? Because we can work on all of those? What do you think's the most serious or the one that's interfering the most for you...
