AUSTIN, Texas — For 40 hours a week, Angela Blankenship takes care of Rick Frame, who’s been paralyzed from the neck down since a 1999 motorcycle accident.
She helps him eat, bathe and move, allowing the former tool designer to stay in his Arlington home.
“I’m able to live my life my own way,” Frame, 59, said. “I’ve heard nothing but horror stories about people that live in nursing homes.”
