This latest update on his progress came after posted to Instagram on Tuesday that he had spent a first day breathing unassisted. He was still unable to use a phone, he added, meaning friends or family probably posted the messages for him."Not long ago, I didn't recognise people and couldn't understand how to speak," he said."I didn't know how to express my despair either and so I was just silent."
