Thanks - I just dont want to get lost with all these terms / meanings..  - I dont think im any of those...

Im more of a double-something - My right-side is "normal" (as far as im concerned) - and my left side is only slightly affected - left leg a bit shorter - & i have about half-use of my left arm/hand.. - it  works, but i cant quickly grasp anything.

Gordon.
