She endured delusions and paranoia. She was on a ventilator so long, it left a pressure wound on her back.
Now she is on oxygen 24-hours-a-day, seven days a week, and has to use a walker to move around the house. She has also noticed cognitive problems and increased anxiety.
Though she has been out of the hospital for a month following treatment for COVID-19, Rebecca Wright faces a long, bumpy road to recovery. It will likely be six months to a year before she gets back to normal, she said.
Some days are better than others, Wright, a former employee of the Register & Bee, said during a telephone interview Thursday afternoon.

The newly-obtained data shows a better picture of this waste statewide. As with any vaccine distribution, it is anticipated that there will be minor accidents resulting in vaccine being discarded due to expiration or broken vials, but health care providers have been working hard to ensure all vaccines are used and stored properly, a NCDHHS spokesperson wrote to the I-Team in an email.
NCDHHS said it has not received any reports of significant batches being lost.
COVID-19 vaccine providers are required to report all doses that are unused, spoiled, expired or wasted, due to the limited supply nationwide. Over the course of any large-scale vaccination effort, a small number of doses may be lost inadvertently, such as a dropped syringe on floor, however, data on wasted vaccine is an essential metric for state and federal health agencies storage and handling procedures to maintain COVID-19 vaccine cold chain and minimize the likelihood of vaccine loss or damage during shipment,
