Wheelchair Sex

Heather is an Occupational Therapist. In simple terms, she helps people who have medical conditions that hinder them regain the skills necessary to live their lives. Often even simple tasks cannot be performed, say, after a stroke, and she helps them to retrain themselves or use new methods to achieve the same results.

She made the mistake once of telling me that in school they learned how to teach sex positions to people who are wheelchair-bound. This of course has provided me with endless amusement (and guilt, for making light of the disabled), and although she has never actually had to teach this particular process, that does not deter me from asking her every day if her patient that day required it. The answer is always "no".

I keep hoping, though, because that would be the mother of all therapy stories.
