the complications continue

Complications all the way, there's always something else to rear its ugly head but i've learned to live with it not happily though thats for sure. The growth hormone deficiency, not caught as early as it should have been i'm left to believe, has left my body slightly - lets say not normal as it should be, i have longer legs and shorter torso as in not a balanced medium. To boot i already had a weaker left hand side due to the stroke affecting both strength, movement and coordination in the arm, hand, leg and foot to a certain extent.
You'll forgive me i'm sure, these thoughts don't come out chronologically; Once well enough to get back into schooling i was enrolled into a specialist school for all varying degrees of disabilities until i got the point when fit enough to go into a mainstream school. I remember i had to wear this padded helmet type protection for my head - same sorta shape as a cyclists helmet only with....well kinda hard to explain.
So that was, kinda weird to say the least. Some nice teachers there i remember, Mrs MacNight was my teachers name i recall yep that was it. I can clearly see the place in my minds eye as i write this, a good place in all for its purpose a mix of junior school and therapies including indoor heated pool, physiotherapy - i also remember a cooking class, computer room and things of all weirdness a
hair salon 
.
Heh, learning to swim eh? never a big fan of water and still not, don't think i'm any good at swimming - although i guess i could muster something if necessary
. I had the lot, the inflatable wings and the floating board, mostly learnt the pushing off from the edge of the pool and swimming on the back thing, what's that one? haha oh the backstroke? that sounds about right. So not exactly a natural to water and don't really participate in that sort of thing to this day, not even on holiday i hate those sit on the beach or around the pool all day holidays - would rather go do something interesting go see Sheswan and China, Machu Pitcchu, Scandinavia, i'm more a doer than a sit and relax type of person.
