Ow. That'd irritate the crap out of me.
My teachers weren't sure how to treat me on return: I was still re-learning walking, after being bed-ridden for 5 weeks. So some kind of let me get away with anything, and the others expected me to try harder to catch up.
But again: The school didn't think there was anything wrong with me at first, probably just winded. Then I started puking blood everywhere. Great way to get people to actually listen to a kid.
Also, what is it with not trusting kids with pain? I developed pains in my leg in Year 9. More than a decade later, and my specialists think that was the first symptom of either MS or one of the fibro family.
I know lots of kids complain about minor aches and pains... But give it a bit of attention would you?
