Stuart Broke His Elbow

Well, not really, but it did make you open the post.  He actually severely bruised his elbow and now has elbow bursitis.  For those of you who don't know, Stuart is a martial artist. He has a second degree black belt in Tae Kwon Do, but he hasn't been able to practice in a few years due to his graduate degree.  As his days in grad school quickly come to an end, he is getting more and more psyched about restarting work on his next belt.  Sunday night he felt compelled to try breaking some bricks and instead the bricks broke him.

Here is the set-up:

Here is the aftermath:

Two days later he looks pretty much normal, but it felt nice for me to see that he can actually get hurt.  In five years of marriage, and two years of dating, I've never really seen him get hurt.  I know I shouldn't be so giddy about that, but knowing that your husband is actually human is a good thing.
