Bob
 
Good to hear (not funny!) that you have had the surgery and are moving forward. Actually just checked your blog a few days ago for any updates and noticed the surgery date there and nothing posted since. Didn't want to bug you. Finger crossed that it works out well. Your due for some good luck.

Hope your are well recovered by the holidays and can enjoy the really important stuff.

Blue skies and Merry Christmas. I hope 2014 is a great one for you.

Pulling for you and watching as you are about to smooth a ripple for yourself and others.

Just another datapoint for the archive's.

I've had no problems since my early December procedure and was feeling pretty optimistic about getting back in the air this summer, so today I contacted a regional flight surgeon with whom I've been consulting thanks to a contact on VAF.

I told him I plan on a big checkup in May and would calculate on reapplying with the FAA after 6 months of being symptom free.

That's when he told me the FAA now requires a year..

Sigh.

Nothing like moving the goalposts...

I may have the facts slightly jumbled, but I have a buddy out here that had a melanoma removed and now he has to get a brain scan every year to maintain a class 3. The type of scan is apparently "special" enough that he has to travel to the LA area to get it done.

Hang in there, it'll be worth it!

Bob, I have an rv8 and a powered paraglider. The PG is just as much fun!

Oh, how I hate moving targets
 
Hang in there, Bob.
