@ Tone... It's a bit negative to give up because you had a medical problem....As Mary said, take a safety-pilot...there will be thousands who would relish the thought of flying free or even cost-sharing and don't forget, they don't have to be qualified. AFAIK there's even a course especially designed for Pax who "may" find themselves flying with an incapacitated P1 , necessitating taking control and safely landing the aircraft.

If you've really finished with flying consider dinghy or small keelboat-racing,
A lot of your pilot knowledge will stand good and the competition helps you learn to harness the wind to best effect. Capsizes don't matter! yes, you get wet but even in some of the speediest sailing-boats, you'll not get injured when you overcook it!
There's nothing quite like the surge of acceleration as it unsticks, comes up on the Plane and the spray flies past.
