So you dont think Oklahoma will receive the letter and say they will revoke my medical? I dont think so right? If I'm voluntarily noting the case and also showing them proof of my recovery to 100% normality.

About flying, I only flew twice on 2 one hour flights to do my flight review. Other than that no, no other flying. Also when I flew those two flights, it was when I had no pain as my hand was hurting on certain ocassions not 100% all the time.

Since I have a 1st class medical and dont plan on going to the airlines for at least another 3 years or so due to finishing school and getting more hours I was just going to let it fall to third class privileges and in another 4 1/2 years when I go to renew it for another 1st or 3rd, you think maybe then I should take the paperwork as a well past condition. It would be liek 3 years behind me by then.
I sat at home for four months unable to work because of my injury. My company Doctor signed me off as ok to work. At this point I received a new FAA medical that reflected my surgery/Doctor visits. I disclosed my *new*history on this medical.
Good luck with what you decide to do.
