The Imperious Rapturous Rex had to spend a night in hospital
following the latest ministrations of the barber-chirurgiens.
Ought I to write chirurgienne, since Dr. Fritz is of the feminine gender?

Until recovery is complete, it appears that
much time in the prone position will be necessary:
tummy to the floor, posterior to the ceiling.
A most unusual position for an emperor.
But then
I lack the imagination, and am also too squeamish,
to picture the alternatives...

Moreover, if I read the latest imperial update correctly,
Dr. Fritz presumed to speak of a second procedure in future.
