Struggling with long COVID? You may find yourself in "Return to Oz"
SalonA few weekends ago, everyone in my household was gone and I had a couple nights alone. Billed as an "unofficial sequel" to that most classic of films, Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer's 1939 sweeping "The Wizard of Oz," "Return" introduces a young Fairuza Balk in her first film role as Dorothy Gale. Fairuza Balk poses atop the Cowardly Lion in a publicity still for the film "Return to Oz," 1985 Sounds an awfully lot like the ongoing stories of many people with long COVID who must fight a battle even to be diagnosed, let alone attempt to be treated. American actor and puppeteer Pons Maar as the Lead Wheeler with the metallic Tik-Tok in the film "Return to Oz," 1985 But Tik-Tok isn't the only character with cognitive issues. If you are experiencing long COVID, I do think "Return to Oz," is a comfort, not just a reminder or a strange case of prophetic storytelling.
