Can I still get my flight physical before that two week period is up? Or do I have to wait until after my non-AME doc sees me again? Thanks!
Yes you can. Just make sure to let your AME know about previous Doc visit. The only time you need to wait for flight physical is when you're out on medical for any reason and need a blessing from your treating physician to preceed.

Good luck with your recovery.
