'Rollercoaster of hope,' Barrie man hospitalized by COVID-19 beats the odds

 
BARRIE --
A Barrie man who beat the odds and emerged from a three-month hospitalization for COVID-19 feels he's getting a second chance at life.
Brian Gillespie tested positive in early February.
On Feb. 11, struggling to breathe and wearing a bathrobe, he walked to an ambulance outside his home. He wouldn't return until winter had melted into spring. This time he was more than 60 pounds lighter and leaning on a walker.
Brian and his family endured what they describe as a "rollercoaster of hope" over the months he spent inside the Royal Victoria Regional Health Centre (RVH).
"I've always relied heavily on being a physical person. And having that taken away from me is very debilitating," Brian told CTV News from his yard on Monday.
