the pen is mightier than the sword

Now then, the adverse effect of the radiation to my body was that it stunted my growth, the radiation from the the two treatments affected my bodies ability to produce growth hormone at a normal capacity - i don't recall weather this was a total stop in the hormone or just a slow in the rate of production. Either way i then needed to be put on a course of treatment to give me back growth hormone, this was done in a method much like that of diabetics who inject themselves with insulin. I had all the supplies, i had my nifty little (well, rather big actually) injection pen thingy and the vials of erm...stuff..hehe to inject myself again much the same as a diabetic using the leg, belly or erm bum cheeks 
.
You see the thing is the skin hardens if used too many times for injecting, therefore there is the need to move around areas and locations to inject and the only way i can describe the actual injecting process is "throwing a bart into a dart board at close range" - you literally keep the pen straight and jab forward as if you can imagine you are throwing a dart, obviously you don't let go
, then push the top of the pen to inject simple as.
I don't recall how long this treatment lasted, but i guess i wouldn't be 5 ft 7" without it and looks as though i was meant to be much taller - well over 6 ft and to be honest i don't think i would really have enjoyed that all. The weird (disturbing rather) thing is the doctors always said i might have the tendency at leaning towards being diabetic - now thats definitely something i hope does not happen, and not only because i don't want to go through that process again but i just don't think i'd be able to cope - that would definitely be the last straw.
