Starting at 56

Like some others, it's been a dream for many years that I never followed. Taking my intro fight next week and want to start right. The kids are finally through college, married, and starting their own families. My 30yr marriage is now over(not part of the dream), job's going well, saved a good bit of money, so the time is right. I'm in good shape through hiking, biking, and watching my diet so covered on the medical side. I researched 4 different fight schools in my area and made that decision today. My goal is to get my PPL, IFR, and have fun doing something just for me. The local school I decided on has 2 Diamonds(DA 20 & 40), 2 Cessna 172s, and a Piper Warrior. Of these aircraft, would rather learn in a 172 but have nothing to base that decision on other than YouTube and reading a few threads here. Any advice would be appreciated.

Stop talking.
I think I would also suggest keeping details of private medical data between you and your chosen AME and other medical professionals.

It is easy to misstate medical specifics and it may be done in a way that will not help with learning to fly.

Gathering all available records is a good idea to start on so your AME can have all the information readily. It is also something to do which helps relieve the tension of waiting on the evaluation and examinations.
