Thinking about the
years past, I noticed that my collection of female friends kept growing. I
became concerned when the words of Grandpa came rushing to my memory, ‘my son
beware of woman, they have caused the fall of many great men.’ Entering the New
Year, I decided to cut all my female friends except for my family members.
January First, I felt cool;
it was as if the whole weight of world which was on my shoulder has been lifted
off. I was feeling like a new born baby. The next 3 days of January was normal
with few flashes of my close female friends who came to my mind which I was
able to deal with. Honestly speaking, this new life style was cheap because I
was not responsible to any lady either for call or other expenses.
Then things began to
change from 5th to 15th of January, it was a tug of war
in my mind and as man who prefers physical battles to psychological battle, I
wasn’t enjoying this. This war raged in my mind and as the day goes by the more
the war was overwhelming me.
January 16th,
it became physical. The internal wars where affecting my physical body. It
started with little head ache, by January 20th it had spread to all
the part of my body and I began to high temperature. God! I can’t understand
this? The last time I broke down physically was about 10 years ago with typhoid
fever. What type of fever can I call this?
My mother couldn’t
stand this any more and forced me to the hospital. After running some test, the
doctor strongly advised that I should be admitted in the hospital though no specific
ailment has been discovered; my health condition was a great source of concern
and needed further testing and close monitoring to discover signs and symptoms.
Five days in the
hospital my health condition did not change which made my mum and the medical
staff worried, this was the 25th day of January. January 26th
a young nurse was assigned specifically to attend to me. Her name is Titilayo,
popularly called ‘Titi.’ God! She was so beautiful, her smile could light up
the whole hospital and could be noticed by patience in the surrounding hospitals;
there was something ‘nursey’ about her. I mean she was made and packaged in
heaven and sent to earth majorly for me.
After been attended to
be nurse Titi, we got fond of each other. The next day my high body temperature
began to drop. She continued to show special care and attention to me and my
health, she spent all her free hours with me. It was as if we new each other
from eternity, she made me recover faster than any drug on planet earth can do.
January 30th, the doctor instructed that I should be discharged
immediately as I was now hail and hearty, she said my recovery was the fasted
he as witness ever since he started practicing, the doctor also wanted me to go
home because after my recovery, I have became too much of a distraction to one
of his best nurse.
February
1st, I came back home and have now re-opened the close door to my
female friends. I am still pondering how my New Year resolution or revolution
has ended. Now tell me, WHO NEEDS WHO?
