W called a little while ago, sounded very upset. She asked me if I can take the kids to school because her dislocated knee problem requires her to go in for MRI's tomorrow and it's worse than she thought.
This is really going to cost her since like most people we have a big deductible to keep premiums down. She still hasn't paid off all the doctor bills from last year. I hope she has been keeping up the premiums.
I told her ok, tried to be polite ans said "If there's anything we can do for you let us know" and told her I'd bring the girls by to see her. She said it didn't matter she was probably going to bed.
I was on the road bringing D17 and her boyfriend home anyway so we stopped and I dropped them off. W was outside on her crutches so they got out and went to talk to her. I stayed in the car and asked her if she was going to be all right but she kind of gave me an "I don't want you to care about me" attitude. So I left.
I went home and got D13 to go see her mom also. I drove her down the street and dropped her off and told her to give her mom lots of love.
As I was leaving OM came out of the house to go home. What a dorky looking guy. W has traded down, but they always do. I imagine he felt uncomfortable when the girls were there, or W told him he should go home. Guess she's not proud of him. It does go to show that the OP usually is irrelevant in the scheme of things. They're a weak link in the puzzle.
Anyway, it kind of felt bad to not be able to be there for her, and to be somewhat rejected by her. But that's stuff we just have to get used to.
