Sex and Jazz

A little laughter after a heavy post... A 22 year old patient at the Respite, Mary is one of my favorite patients. Although AIDS has destroyed her body - she is unable to speak or move on her own she has a hilarious personality. She was mumbling something today and I coundn't understand what it was so I gave her a pen and paper. She wrote "Yogurt". Unfortunately we were out of yogurt so I gave her the pen again this time she wrote "sex with a big man". I died. I almost peed my pants I was laughing so hard.

Despite the chaos, devastation and hardships I do find time to laugh.
