The conviction is for aggravated assault. Trial was to the court on a plea of not guilty; punishment is a sentence of three years which is probated. Appellant challenges the sufficiency of the evidence to prove serious bodily injuries. We affirm. In his sole ground of error appellant contends the evidence is insufficient to prove the injuries the complainant received were serious bodily injuries. Due to this limited challenge to the sufficiency of the evidence it is not necessary to detail all the facts of the case other than to note that the complainant testified that he suffered a severe beating by appellant over a period of fifteen minutes during which time appellant repeatedly beat him with his fists and kicked him with his feet. Concerning his injuries the complainant testified that he received a fracture back behind my right ear and I had spinal fluid draining out of my right ear for approximately three and a half days. He further testified he had a crushed nose and a fracture right here under my right eye. As a result of the beating he was in the hospital for four days, was under the care of doctors for about five months, and was unable to work for about the same period of time.
