Back to Life After COVID-19 - Gordon Quinn

Body

Surviving COVID-19 can be an arduous journey, but recovering is an equally challenging feat. Gordon Quinn was the first patient to receive therapy and graduate from our COVID Care Unit.

After a month in an acute-care hospital, including two weeks on a ventilator, Gordon was unable to get out of bed and had cognitive and dexterity issues that left him without the ability to type even his phone password.

He arrived at Shirley Ryan 香港六合彩即时开奖 highly motivated. He readily engaged in our rigorous rehabilitation program to regain strength, mobility and independent function and quickly made strides in dressing himself, walking and navigating the stairs. After a little more than two weeks of working with our expert occupational therapists, physical therapists and speech-language pathologists, he was finally able to return home.

It’s amazing how fast you can recover in a dedicated rehabilitation facility like

Today, Gordon feels about 95 percent back to normal. He’s resumed his passion and profession as a filmmaker, while also continuing to build stamina by taking walks around the neighborhood.

He looks back on his journey with amazement and disbelief — unable to imagine how his mind and body traveled from the edge of death to resuming his daily life.
