Chat with Dan Gottlieb

Seven years ago a driver fell asleep and struck an unsuspecting man named Rick. The accident left him a respirator-dependent quadriplegic, paralyzed from the shoulders down.

His wife, Trish, defied doctors' advice to put him in a nursing home and took him home. With his income eliminated, Trish went back to work full time, leaving her with three full-time jobs - work, wife and mother, and caregiver/case manager.

I first met Trish through one of her amazing postings on the Christopher Reeve Web page at www.christopherreeve.org/community  She will join me for a Web chat at noon EST on 3-31.
