Thumbs up

I just got off the phone with the FAA Medical Certification Branch. The guy I talked to was a lot more helpful than the last one. This is what the dude I talked to told me -

All I need to do is submit a copy of my CT scan, IVP scan, and a letter from my treating urologist that answers the following questions:
  1. Are there any retained stones?
  2. Is the issue resolved?
  3. What is the clinical diagnosis/assessment?
  4. Is the patient released from care?

I am supposed to fax this info up the FAA Medical Certification Branch where they'll review my case and then send me a letter of authorization (I think that's what he called the letter) in which I am to present to my AME for my next medical.

The good news is, he said I can continue operating under my current medical as long as I am released from care of my treating physician and I have no other occurrences.
