Final Approach
I was/am healthy and damned well knew it. But I managed to work myself up into a lather worrying about absolutely nothing after reading one too many horror stories online.
Got myself all checked out ahead of time anyway. With nurses.. I kid you not.. making comments like "wow, you're really healthy" after looking at my chart and "that's really good" after taking my BP. Probably was a wise thing to do but I feel pretty silly about how worried I got over the whole thing.
Disclosed everything I knew to disclose. The most that came of it was apon seeing that I had checked the hay fever box was the doc warned me that if I ever did start taking antihistamines they might make me drowsy. I had also checked the asthma box and reported no episodes/hospitalization/treatment since childhood. Didn't even result in a comment or question.
So now I've got my student pilot cert and absolutely nothing to worry about biting me in the future.
