I'd had a fanfic idea of Wilt injuring his foot, and you know that foot injuries are slow to heal anyway, and made worse by not staying OFF the injured foot. Of course, keeping Wilt off his feet, and therefore unable to help anyone, would be an unenviable task for anybody, and it's going to be made worse by Wilt's high level of gameness-refusal to give up or accept weakness. He strikes me as the sort who, if sick or otherwise stricken with something serious, will still carry on as resolutely as possible, acting as though nothing is wrong, until he's practically got one foot in the cemetary and the other is slipping! Getting him to go to a hospital would like, require and act of Congress, NOT because he's a chicken(he's anything but), but because it would impose on someone else to have to take him, and given his past, he probably figures, too, that he's already met his "quota" of syringes, IV's, X-rays, bedpans, catheters, and Heaven forbid-hospital FOOD!
