I hope you can. It's not clear whether your medical was in fact turned
down.

The big problem of course is insurance. One can always buy a plane and
fly it uninsured, but renting is probably out of the question (it is
for me, anyhow) unless somebody is willing to write an insurance
policy for a sport pilot.

That's still to be determined. I notice that the AOPA insurer doesn't
(or didn't when I looked at the form) cover recreational pilot
certificates.
