There are three basic Sweet things in life, all controlled by the same gland, the adrenal gland and begin with the letter S; Sex, Salt and Sugar. Jeffrey loves life and always live it to the fullest and his wife was a perfect compliment, always ready for funfair. In fact this was the principal reason why he married her but Agatha, Jeffrey's mother wasn't in the least comfortable with her daughter-in-law. She perceived her as wild wind that blows no one any good but her husband never bath an eyelid over his mother's idea about his yuppie wife. He was well to do and so never hesitated to spoil his fun loving wife the more. One could scarcely find them in their home especially on weekends. Their cravings for fun informed their choice of contraception for five years after marriage. His life was work to fun. He considered himself strong enough and had no reason to attend the clinic for medical check ups, Ekaitte, his wife did say that two weeks before his demise, he had complained on two occasions of a nagging headache which he swept under the carpet with analgesic.
On this faithful day, he came back from a trip into the waiting arms of his dear wife. It was as though he had been away for centuries. They primed themselves with alcoholic aphrodisiac and off they went into ecstasy, moving from one planet to another as they rocked each other back and forth with responsorial psalms . On the third round of the clash of Titans when he was close to being glorified, he suddenly began to have a double vision followed by a thunder clap in his head which made him misread the lines in the responsorial psalm and from the usual, "yeah baby" he screamed "baby, my head". He clasped his head with his hands in an attempt to prevent it from exploding, he freezed and slumped.
The fun had become a nightmare and Eka, as called by her mother-in-law, felt like she has been given a cup of vinegar to drink. She held her husband, shook him hard, while calling on him "honey! Honey!! Honeybee!!! But he had passed out. He was rushed to the hospital where he was confirmed dead. Agatha accused Ekaite of being responsible for Jeffrey's death but I think otherwise.
SUBARACHNOID HEMORRHAGE
Is a condition when artery (ies) bleed spontaneously into the subarachnoid space( space between the coverings of the brain). The bleeding may arise from an abnormal artery with a balloon (aneurysmal hemorrhage).Factors that can predisposed one to have such condition includes smoking, hypertension, alcohol abuse. Others include connective tissue disorder, polycystic kidney disease and first degree relative.
It's associated with photophobia (aversion to light), loss of concentration, vomiting, neck stiffness and focal neurological signs like hemiparesis (paralysis of half of the body). It can be triggered by physical exertion, straining and sexual excitement. Jeffrey's death could have been prevented by life style modification and regular medical check up. Anyone who is forty years and above should make it a point of duty to attend regular medical check up.
