COMING THIS WEEKEND:
Virus Outbreak-The Recovery: Larry Brown spent about 80 days in an Indianapolis hospital this spring, fighting COVID-19 and nearly dying from bacterial infections. His journey since returning home in June has been filled with unknowns. He’s not sure yet when he’ll return to work or if lingering problems like a tingling sensation in most of his fingers will ever go away. His weeks are filled with medical and therapy appointments. Doctors say they’re still learning about recovery for patients who spent weeks sedated in hospitals on ventilators. Exactly how many patients like Brown exist is unknown, but thousands have taken to social media to find informal advice and support. By AP Health Writer Tom Murphy. UPCOMING Saturday, 2,000 words.
