Private Pilot's License

I'll probably have just over 100 hours by the time I take my checkride.
This is mostly thanks to medical paperwork! I was just about ready to
take my ride this past spring, when we (my instructor and I) looked into
what was needed to be done because of my medical restriction. Turns out
I didn't have the letter of authorization in my file for the medical
flight test, so I had to get info on the FAA on what they needed, which
was an eye exam cause of my LASIK surgery (had this done before, but
they didn't get the form the doctor fills out), then after I sent that
in, they (FAA) wanted up to date hearing tests and a recommendation on
headsets from my audiologist, who went had to ask the manufacturer of my
cochlear implant if the method I used was OK, then she went on vacation...

I've just been told she's sent me the letter to send to the FAA, which
then I'll have to wait for the FAA to send the letter of authorization.

I haven't flown for over 2 months at this point, but now I'll start again.
