Expect scrutiny from the AME, due to germanwings. The AME will most likely have to defer to OKC, so it could take months to get a 1C. Plan accordingly. Keep whatever letter you get from the FAA, you'll need that if you change AME's.
Thanks again, Rick. Yeah, I'm feeling fine, I know that having had that experience taints me a bit, but I've always believed in conquering and overcoming obstacles, and some things happen for a reason I guess, anyways, I'm actually going to get my medical record emailed to me from my health provider so that I can be exact with regards to the dates, and the wording, then I'll go see the AME and proceed from there.
And yes, I understand the scrutiny that is to come, as a member of the flying public I wouldn't want to have it any other way. It just sucks to be on the other side of it, haha, but hopefully, everything turns out fine.
