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.
