The pain became second nature and I limped through it until it healed somewhat. Today at 40 the same foot bothers me some(not as much as back then).

I still question Roy Helu's toughness.

Have you considered maybe the cause of your having a bad foot now is because you never let it heal properly and you played on it? I sprained my wrist, to the point where I couldn't rotate it, didn't go to the hospital till about 2 days in, gave me a brace which I only wore on and off, and still continued to work (manual labor) and although my wrist has healed it causes me pain sometimes and it's not as strong as it was before I sprained it (Well there goes my waitressing dreams).

It doesn't make sense to say, "oh well, I have an injury, F it!" I can understand if its something that's not debilitating or something that you can play on and still have it heal or protect it somehow.

Its not a matter of toughness its a matter of health. I'd rather be a healthy wimp than a tough fool.
