Soon my phone started ringing. I answered it to be sure that she was the one I’ve come to see. She asked again where I was. When the movement of her lips corresponded with the words I heard on phone, I knew she was the nurse I’ve come to see. I ended the call and walked up to her. When she saw me coming, she gestured towards me, asking if I am the one she called. I smiled and nodded. She extended her hand towards me, we shook hands and then, led me into her office
.
I explained how I felt and everything. I need to say here that Deola is a very professional nurse; she know her onus and profession so well. All along while asking me questions, she never looked into my eyes; she was just writing and writing. When she was done asking and writing, she handed me a note wherein she wrote the names of the drugs I need to buy with an encouraging tone:
.
Deola: Please follow this prescription religiously. It aide your speedy recovery. Besides, Mr. Toye has instructed me to keep an eye on you. So, henceforth, I will be calling you once in a while to ask how you’re doing. Is that ok?
.
Me: Yes ma’m. It’s ok.
.
Deola: Call me Deola, please
.
Me: Ok. Anything else?
.
Deola: No sir. You may go now, expect my call anytime, anyday
.
I left her office quickly cos my eyes were already dizzy. Besides, my bones were very weak. I stopped a taxi which took me home. I called Cynthia’s number to inform her of my status. She started crying over the phone. I calmed her down and explained to her all I needed was rest, and nothing serious
.
She promised to come see me right away. I ended the call and call my friends in the office, informing them of my 2wks sick leave. They empathized with and promised to come see me over the weekend
.
I paid the driver and headed straight to the super market beside my house. Ini was on hand to attend to me. She was a little surprised to see me come home that early
.
Ini: Oga Femi (that’s how she address me), what happened? You’re early today
.
Me: Yes, I am. I’m too weak. My boss asked me to come back home. I’ve been given 2wks to recuperate. Please give me 2pks of 1ltr of Lucozade Boost
