Hi Rob, In this Age of Technology, the fact that a person is caused to spend time in bed, means less to the life they live than ever before, and it has only been pathetic when the person allows it to become so. Stay strong. With Love, CtrlAltDel aka Dave C4/5 Complete - 31

I definitely agree that he probably died as a result of some complication to an infection which was more than likely brought on or exacerbated by some sort of experimental treatment. Frankly I thought he was always in complete denial and never got past that stage of recovery. But, in many ways

Christopher Reeves was a man that did not except his disability. He was always looking froward to someday walking again. I thank that he really didn't think that a pressure sore would kill him. He was Super Man! But, as you see even Super Man was prone to infections. Wheelchair Warrior Dan T
