Irvine, CA - February 14: Courtney Gavin, who got sick with Covid in March 2020 and is now sick with long covid, plays guitar in her room, where she spend most of her time. She used to play in a couple bands but is on hold until she recovers at her home with her husband, Connor Mayer. Photo taken Tuesday, Feb. 14, 2023 in Irvine, CA. (Allen J. Schaben / Los Angeles Times) Courtney is experiencing long covid and the costs (emotionally, physically and financially) this disease has had on their lives. She currently is not working and has severe shortness of breath, needs help doing basic tasks in the home (pushed in a wheelchair, uses a chairlift) and is fatigued easily. Connor works as a professor at UC Irvine and is now her full-time caregiver. He noted he is struggling with balancing the responsibilities of being a caregiver over his career responsibilities (which has resulted in a loss of income).The couple has shared that they have spent over $60k in medical expenses (chair lift, wheelchair, supplements), Courtney plays music and is largely bedridden, but they seem to have a routine where Connor makes her food and sets up everything before he leaves for work to make it as easy as possible for her to eat and take care of herself. Courtney also applied for disability and was denied recently.
