When was your last aviation medical? On the form you have to put how many hours you've flown. The FAA should have a record of that.
Your PPL never expires, but most places won't rent you an airplane or take your word for it for training without documented proof.
Do you still have a copy of your PPL? If not, request a copy from the FAA. After you get that, it's just a matter of receiving enough training to feel comfortable again and getting a biennial flight review.
And don't forget to log it!
