Local councils are looking for new hosts to come forward Lincolnshire
A former COVID-19 patient has returned to Lincoln County Hospital’s Intensive Care Unit to thank the team of staff who saved his life.
His family were given daily telephone calls as Gordon, from Wragby, required a tracheostomy – an incision at the front of his neck for a tube to be placed in his windpipe – in order to help him breathe. During this time, he had to learn how to walk, talk and eat normally again. The side effects of having COVID-19 continue to affect him to this day.Gordon’s wife Yvonne explained: “I got COVID-19 and about a fortnight later, Gordon got it too. Gordon felt dizzy, lost use of his legs and collapsed in the bathroom.
Gordon and Yvonne returned to the ICU to thank the team who aided Gordon’s recovery, and also presented a £300 donation on behalf of the Age Concern group in Wragby.
