some cosmetic surgery "down below" to restore herself
to her former youthful glory.
Time and childbirth had taken its toll and she reckoned
that, with five children now being the limit, she'd tidy
things with a nip here and a tuck there.
Following the operation she awoke from her anaesthetic
to find three roses at the end of the bed.
Who are these from" she asked the nurse, "they're very
nice but I'm a bit confused as to why I've received them."
"Well" said the nurse, "The first is from the surgeon -
the operation went so well and you were such a
model patient that he wanted to say thanks."
"Ahhh, that's really nice", said Lucy.
"The second is from your husband - he's delighted
the operation was such a success that he can't
wait to get you home. Apparently it'll be the first time
he's touched the sides for years and he's very excited!"
"Brilliant!" said Lucy. "And the third?"
"That's from Eric in the burns unit", said the nurse.
"He just wanted to say thanks for his new ears!"
