There were 3 issues.

I don't know the answers to your specific questions, but I have a suggestion:

If you're not a member of AOPA, join. Actually, I'm not sure pre-solo students
are eligible to join... Anyway, get to the aopa web site and read through all
the stuff in the medical section. The medical section is in the members-only
section, so either join AOPA or borrow a member's user id. Maybe your instructor
is a member and will help you get access to the info. There's a lot of good
information there about getting through the medical process.

Good luck.
