Ain't it strange how most injuries don't really hurt when they happen nearly as much as a day or two afterwards? When I caught my hand with the slide hammer I knew it was bad, but kept on working. Laying in bed thinking about the actual moment of impact with the hammer part of the slide hurt far more than actually doing it. I get shooting mental pain just thinking about it. Cut yourself with a kitchen knife? Oh well...bandage it and go back to work, but if you had to think about cutting your hand open, even quickly would hurt far more than it does when it happens suddenly without warning.. In sports the accidents typically happen fast without warning which I think is why we can go right back to doing them after experiencing excruciating pain from an injury. If you had to stop and wait for a leg to be broken you'd never do it..
