    Default I whipped Wegeners today because....

    We all know that there are highs and lows living with this illness and sometimes it appears that we are constantly down, fighting tooth and nail for fear of giving up. The anxiety of a possible flare, health deterioration or realisation that our lives will never be fun, happy or "normal" again.
    I realise that there are many Weggies who are living a life greater encumbered by WG and I thank my lucky stars that I have 'survived' 6 years now since DX. I have however gone thru a 'shed' load of different drugs and 2 years ago hit rock bottom when the hospital called me to say that my latest results showed that I was losing the fight. However; RTX has turned a corner for me and although this year I have experienced chronic lung infections, I have enjoyed 4 weeks of comparitive peaces and joy.
    This last week I have 'crashed' on 3 days but yesterday I bounced up and felt great, so much so that we invited my son, daughter in law and 2 year old granduaghter over for a family BBQ. I was able to zip around, sort out the drinks, play with my G'daughter and cook up a storm of keebabs, steak and bangers (sausages to you). It felt great and so I thought I would start a different type of thread where we can 'imagine' that for one day, two or even longer we locked that old Wegs dog away in his kennel!!
    So in answer to the thread title.....

    I PUT TOGETHER A GREAT FAMILY BBQ!! (and nobody got food poisoning!!! Lol)

    Thanks God you are saved, with us and enjoy life

    as for the thread: wonderful idea, inspiraion and playfullness are always so healthy....

    ok, so here is my line:

    I wipped WG today because.... I did some shopping (oh, yes ) ... I bought a new bag, (replacing the old one with the sad memories), a new robe (turquoise color, tight, for the summer), 3 shorts (it is summer here) and face cream..... Ha, girls' pleasures....

    I whipped Wegs today....... Because I got up this morning and made all my Father's Day cards. Now I don't have to scramble to get them made at the last minute.

    I sat on the sofa today as it was so miserable with rain! But managed to make good progress with the PTA accounts! Yesterday was a different story - the sun shone and I went for a walk, nearly 2 hours. It does so much for my well being!

    It WAS whipping me this weekend. I learned that when on a boatload of steroids, the RTX infusions are NOTHING, but without, it whipped me pretty good this weekend, UNTIL TODAY! I tilled up the flower beds with the mini roto-tiller, mowed the grass, dug up a corner of the driveway and made a rounded corner with pot-hole patch (even pounding/packing the patch with a 15# sledge hammer), mowed the grass, cooked brats for lunch, cut the watermelon, fixed the deck wheels on the big riding mower, had a root beer float for supper, and I almost have enough energy for a shower. So take that Wegeners!

    Thanks for starting this thread Geoff!!! I needed a place to celebrate too!!

    Thank you Geoff for great idea!! I whipped Wegeners today because I was able to get up earlier than normal, get dressed and go to town with my husband to have breakfast with his cousin and wife. The meal was so good! They visited with us for 2 days which like for many of you can be very tiring. So, today I won

    The only "club" I used today was a pair of pruning shears. Still, I whipped wegs today because I spent most of the day working my flower gardens!

    The day has only started for me. I have just finished breakfast and have a day off work, so have no idea what it will bring.
    I WILL whip it though, because...........well, I woke up and got out of bed

    Why did your old bag have sad memories? I love a good shopping spree. Glad you had fun.
