Vet visit

Took Precious to the vet. He inspected and then washed his eye. He found inflammation but nothing serious like cornea ulcers, whatever that is. So he gave me steroid eye drops to put in every 8 hours to rid the inflammation, for 2-4 days. Precious was very good at the office letting the man do uncomfortable things to his eye, he must be in pain. Since I got up earlier than usual, I went back to bed when I got home. I got the first eye drop in w/out much more than a meow when he saw me with the bottle. 2nd wasn't so easy. Precious squirmed and shut his eye and I missed 4 times until hitting the jackpot. I think it was more of a 3 drop squirt, but I was getting impatient. Even better, goo is coming out of his other eye. I have to check now for squinting. He is sleeping right now so it is hard to tell.

If I thought I had adventure, it was nothing compared to my coworker. Her stepdaughter called to say her brother bit her leg, breaking the skin and bleeding, so she wants stepmom to come pick him up. NO. For starters she never picks up her stepchildren, her husband does that so she doesn't have to deal with the ex-girlfriend. She explains to the stepdaughter that she is at work until after she goes to bed. But her father will be home from work soon so she will give him a call. It was a lengthy call with my coworker pulling the phone cord into the backroom so we didn't hear the entire conversation. She is fed up with taking the kids simply because this woman can discipline her own kids and wants to move forward with taking custody of them before he is completely out of control. This woman apparently called the police last week because her son ran around the house calling her bad names I shan't repeat. Sadly, the police had better things to do than arrest an 8-year-old boy for calling his mother bad names. The husband calls over and trade insults as usual with the ex-girlfriend. Then he refused to drive over her house to pick up the son because it was not his weekend and her lack of discipline is not his problem. She has to bring the son if she can't control him. She puts down the phone and announces to her daughter that Daddy doesn't care about her leg. I'm unsure at what point he threaten to sue for custody if she can't control her kids, which led to more insults at each other. My coworker was displeased he mentioned their plot to take over custody cause now she will be up in arms. Then she called the manager to explain her situation and left work 4 hours early to deal with this problem. I wished her good luck when she left. She is going to need it.

Post later. Bye!
