so me and my wife split up a month ago, she moved to a different city. her grandmother, however, lives nearby and helps watch the kids a couple of days a week.
ive known her grandmother to be an idiot, shes good enough with the kids, at least i thought she was, after this im going to have to reconsider.
you see, i was talking to my ex tonight, because her grandmother cant watch the kids tomorrow as she usually does; this is because the sight in her right eye is almost completely gone.
she woke up around 7am and couldnt see out of her right eye, called to tell my ex this around 10am, and my ex wife said she should call a doctor immediately. you wouldnt expect someone to *need* this advice, but you would hope they would heed it and make the call. she didnt.
in fact she didnt call a doctor until almost 1:30pm...at which point the soonest appointment they have available is at 4. she gets there and he tells her its probably too late, and she wont be able to see out of it again, that it was cause by a blocked artery and her 2 pack a day smoking habit...that she enjoys in her apartment.
seriously, ive done some stupid things...and i wouldnt call a doctor immediate on say, a stiff neck or an ingrown toenail, but lack of vision would pretty well get my ass in gear. i need a new babysitter; i cannot trust such a moron with my kids any longer.
