Excellent point, Greg.
There indeed becomes a time when one has to hang up one's
flight helmet. The problem is finding a competitent, caring
individual to evaluate and advise. You may be lucky enough to
get an AME that will apply the "door rule." (If he made it in
the door, he must be well enough to fly) Or some 'by der booch'
type who will bounce you out at the mearist whiff of problems.
