The not-so-best-part of Thanksgiving

During a manly game of tackle football for 2009's Turkey Bowl in Nampa, ID, during the final series of the game, Dwight threw himself at the legs of an offensive player who was headed for the end zone in an attempt to tackle him. As Dwight threw his arms around the guys legs to pull him down, the other player juked to one side slamming his knee into Dwight's right forearm. With a resounding "crack!", Dwight crumpled to the ground clutching his broken arm. Thus, Thanksgiving morning was spent in the hospital...
As a result of said injury, surgery was required to obtain full movement and rotation in Dwight's right wrist, which is a necessity for becoming an animator (Dwight's major). So, almost one week to the day, Dwight entered the surgery center in Provo to emerge several hours later with a war wound. This is the picture two weeks after surgery when the splint was finally removed:
Despite all the griping I've done to my husband for his broken arm, I have to admit it IS pretty manly that he broke it during tackle. Can you imagine if he broke it playing FLAG?! lol
