"You seem very happy with what you see, Mr. Hardin."

"You have no idea, nurse." He said, looking over. "Tell me, was it hard to find such a woman? Hopefully she didn't give you too much trouble?"

"If you're implying...."

At that, he had to laugh, though good-naturedly.

"Sorry, my humor is dark and when can I make such a reference to such a dark act again? I know it was a brain-dead donor body, nurse, and I just say I am very impressed with it."

"You should." The nurse said, a bit of jealousy in her voice. "You have nicer legs than I do, and a better stomach."

"Uh, yes, thank you." He said, unsure of how to take the compliment. "I think I'll do very well with this."

"You will, sir. Another nurse will be in very shortly to do a check of you and if you are ready, you will be discharged. Congratulations, Mr. Hardin. Enjoy you new womanhood."
