Resolution or Revolution (Who needs who?)

 

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 5^th to 15^th 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 16^th, it became physical. The internal wars where affecting my physical body. It started with little head ache, by January 20^th 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 25^th day of January. January 26^th 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 30^th, 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 1^st, 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?
