Meanwhile, Jeff’s Covidexperience has been the hardest. While he was getting treated for cancer, he caught the virus and his treatment got tricky. The recovery process, he said, is still ongoing. “A lot of getting better was a matter of setting really small goals. At first, they’d say, ‘How long can you stand?’ For a while, my record was 45 seconds before I’d collapse. And then they were saying: ‘Oh, look, you’re standing for a minute! That’s so cool, now can you walk fivefeet?'” he said.

“I didn’t think I’d ever work again, really. So at first, I said, ‘Well, we’ll see.’ But eventually, that became, ‘Maybe I can.’ I have to admit that I was still frightened of going back to work.”
