Renewing 1st class

Hey doc.

I am going in to my local AME to renew my 1st class medical. As you might remember, about 6-8 months ago I had a bout with Bells Palsy. I decided to give my AME a call before I went in to see if there was any paper work he would need before I renewed. He told me to bring my records from the doctor that saw me so the FAA could rule out the fact that it was stroke. Do you think there will be any hangup in the process of me getting my medical with what you have seen? Any additional tests that might have to be done?

Thanks

SAAAWWEEETTTT! Thanks doc. I'll tell ya, when it first started I thought I was having a stroke, and I can understand why they'd want to know that it wasn't one. Thankfully the doc I see is a family friend and isn't charging me for the followup I had today, is giving me my charts to take with me and a letter that it has cleared up with no negligible lasting effects.
