London Blue Quotes

“After three days of sheer hell, his friend, Lady Margaret Knolls, a veteran of two TKRs, arrived to check on his progress. Her amour, Lady Vivian Callot, also the recipient of a double total knee replacement, came along. “The surgeon muffed it,” he’d told them angrily. “The wrong implant, the wrong technique, something. It’s outrageous. Kate had emergency knee surgery with a TKR, and she didn’t go through anything like this.” “Is that so?” Lady Margaret’s gimlet eyes had narrowed. “And how, pray tell, do you know that?” “I was beside her every step of the way, thank you very much.” “I see. Viv, dear, enlighten me,” she barked as if Lady Vivian were in another room rather than three feet away. “Who is this ‘Kate’ of whom he speaks? He can’t possibly refer to his wife. That woman is famous, nay, infamous, for her pain tolerance. To wit: she mistook advanced labor pains for indigestion and nearly gave birth at home as a result.”
