Okay, so my H has been looking into joining the military. He met with a recruiter last week for this Office Candidate program. Well, today H received his medical records (so he could send them to MEPs to get his physical). He was looking over his surgery info (he had surgery to repair his torn ACL and miniscus last January), and he came across some information that NOBODY bothered to tell any of us. Apparently his doctor/surgeon knew before they started the surgery that his miniscus was irrepairable, but never bothered to tell H, me, or his mother. We were all under the impression that they repaired his ACL with a cadaver ACL and repaired his miniscus. At no time were we ever informed that his miniscus was irrepairable. EVER. Not before or after the surgery. Or at his follow up appointments, or anything. It was just completely hidden from us. H was looking over his records while on lunchbreak and discovered it. If he'd never read them, he'd never have known.
Well, H and I are now fearing that his military dreams are now bust due to this fact. He cannot technically be cleared by a doctor with this injury. And it obviously cannot be fixed, we were just never informed of this. Now, whenever he told me this, I was down-right MAD. This surgeon is a great surgeon, but obviously telling us that he had an injury that he could not repair was too much for him. If he would've just told us, we would at least know before now, when he's already talked to different recruiters from different branches, that his knee is still messed up.
I'm just...venting, I suppose. But really just shocked. I don't see why we weren't informed of this from the very beginning or right after the surgery, because I saw the doctor come into the room and say everything went perfectly. So I feel like we've been lied to.
the reason it hurts so much to separate is because our souls are connected. ~nicholas sparks<3</center>
