Hi all,
I was in the hospital six months ago or so for appendicitis and underwent an appendectomy. I was given Hydrocodone in the hospital for the pain. I recovered quickly and did not need to take anything for pain after the surgery. I talked to my doctors that were not associated with the FAA and they said I was cleared to fly. For some reason it did not occur to me that I should also talk to an AME. I am just curious where this leaves me going forward when I have to renew my medical. Any help is appreciated.
