BANNER DANCING
No, I received no banner for the dancing lesson with my Dance Partner, Ethel, but I did end up in Banner, hospital, that is. But let me elaborate.
45 years ago I fell backwards and smashend my left elbow. It has given me little or no grief since that date.Three weeks ago Tami in her waltz lesson re-introdcued us to the underarm turn. We liked it so at the Friday night singles dance we employed it several times and I discovered that my left arm was locking up so so no more underarm turns.
On Saturday, I went down town to have lunch with my son, Dan. He gave me tickets for the Sunday D.Backs game. Ethel and I went to the game and my arm was becoming somewhat sensitive, but no problem.
By Sunday night my wrist was swelling up and becoming painful and I couldn't use my left hand to open my left over pain pills and muscle relaxant from another incident so I had to ask Ethel to open the bottles. Monday morning I went to the Banner Hopital emergency room where I was put on a liquid antibiotic.Two days later I was moved to a hospital room. As you know you never find out much as to what is going on so on Saturday they decided to switch to an oral antibiotic, not as strong, but wanted to observe my reaction to same so I was held until Sunday evening.
So when I got the release papers I dicovered that I suffered from Cellulitis involving the volar, medial, and lateral aspects of the left wrist I will be on oral antibiotics for ten days.
I, on that date, 9/27/07 am invited to join Greg and Ramona to help Dan take his power boat from Canada back to his boathouse in Seattle. You can bet that I'm keeping a low key to insure the I am shipshape.(pardon the awful pun)
Someone once said that work never killed anyone, but why take a chance?

I considered sending an e-mail to your grandson to learn your whereabouts. I thought you had gone on an around-the-world cruise. How I wish that had been the case, instead of a stay at the Banner Arms. I am relieved to know that you are hale and hearty again.
We had big plans involving you and Ethel, but with the upcoming trip to relocate the Rye yacht, they must wait until you have a free evening in which to partake in dinner, and perhaps a dip in the pool at Green Manor. You will receive a formal invitation. Ok! Ok! Make that a phone call when we learn you are available.
In the meantime, let the music begin! For dancing without the under-the-arm turns, that is.

Shipshape!!! Work never killed anyone, but why take a chance??? Cellulitis or not, you have not lost your sense of humor.
You have made a full recovery, and that is good news to all. Let your fans know the latest.
