This a repeat of a thread I started last week, based on some incorrect information from DS. Neither DW nor I was with him at last week's appointment. DS interpreted Doc's comments to suggest he had a detached retinae, which he does not have.
DS is HS senior. He has applied for NROTC scholarship. We feel reasonably confident he will win one, but maybe not to his first choice school, out of state high dollar public.
Three weeks ago he was hit in the eye with a soccer ball at school. (Once a week, his weight training class plays some sort of high cardio game.) We took him to MD within an hour. The doc saw some damage, but nothing requiring immediate treatment.
Went in for follow-up today and finally talked to doc. Eyesight is 20/15 in both eyes. However, Doc says there is a Vitreous Hemorrhage and Commotio Retinae. Repeat, there is no retina detachment. There will be follow-up check ups at decreasing frequency for the next 11 mos at which time he would receive a clean bill of health.
Are either of the diagnoses in the thread title an automatic disqualifier.
Thanks in advance.
P.S. Also thanks for the PM's and other messages of support.
