A treat for me, small celebration

Well first of all, I'd like to congratulate you on getting through your surgeries. They are never easy and always nerve-racking. My grandmother just went in on Friday to get a tumor removed. Surgery went well but, she took a turn after that and was rushed back into a second surgery that day. Her heart rate started decreasing rapidly and she was bleeding internally. BUT the doctors did an incredible job and my grandmother stayed strong, brave and good spirited.. She had a third surgery Sunday(yesterday) to remove the gause and bandages and it went really well!!! So happy and thankful, was really worried earlier on in the week! So to anyone at all who goes through any kind of surgery are all so brave, and I'm glad to hear yours went good as well :) Sorry for explaining all that, I think I just needed to vent/express myself so thank you for giving me the chance to do so lol. I hope everything's going well for you after that and I hope you find something to treat yourself with :) I know your question was how do other people treat themselves, but I'm really not sure what I would do. Maybe have a girls day/ go out or eat something yummy! Treat yourself good! You deserve it!!

I ALWAYS treat myself after a difficult ordeal or an emotionally draining experience. I still owe myself a treat after the last trip to Stanford University Hospital last week. I finally found out what was causing my chest pain after living with it for nearly 15 years. I haven't figured out what kind of treat I am going to get for myself... I may go by the local department store and see if there is something that I might like. Unfortunately where I live ordering a Domino's pizza is impossible. I live thirty miles from the nearest Domino's and they won't deliver to my home. So I have to be in town to treat myself. Since it was an important discovery I feel that the event needs a really really special treat. Something like jewelry or a new outfit. I'm still thinking on it.

It is good to treat oneself once in a while especially in your case thatr you had undergone two surgeries! May I know what procedure you undergo? I treat myself once in a while after a week of daily routines, work, pressures and problems. It doesn't cost much. Sometimes, I just go out alone to freshen up even if its just in a park. I do have a bi monthly salon time --manicure/pedicure and sometimes hot oil treatment for my hair. Sometimes too, if my budget permits, I do have a massage..

Hello syramoon, it is good to know that you are recovering now from your surgeries, I hope all is well with you today. I usually treat myself if I think I have done a job which seems really hard to me to accomplished. After such hard work, I would treat myself to Friday's Restaurant and have a whole order of Baby Back Ribs and some onion rings all by myself. I love ribs but it is a bit expensive so I reserve having that during celebratory moment with my self.

Lat December, 3 days before the new year of 2012, I had also my operation for the removal of my inflamed gallbladder and some gallstones. I had been in moderate to severe pain,intermittently feeling bloated, nauseous for a year and it is only last December I had the chance to have it operated once and for all. And so, after my operation, I haven't tolerated anything solid for almost 2 days. Just plain soup, jell-o and sips of water. New year's eve came and a few hours before the new year, I finally got to eat something solid. Small slice of meat, 1/2 cups of rice, and small serving of vegetables. Wow what a feeling, the relief was amplified by the New Years celebration. My wife and my in-laws were there in the hospital to celebrate with me.

I'm always alone in the house. Eating alone is like I'm still sick. So, I just go to my friends sharing laughter and eat lots with them.

We usually go out but before anything else we go to Church to say a little prayer and thanksgiving. I know we can't passed any trials without God by our side. Then after that, we go to malls and do some shopping, if we have the budget. But nevertheless, being with my family and spending quality time with them is more than enough as a treat for myself. I am glad you have passed two surgeries and I wish for you speedy recovery.

syramoon..Congrats on your recovery from surgery I would go for Dominos pizza..

I would probably spend time with my family and friends. I'm sorry to hear that you have gone through that! I love food and can't even understand loosing my appetite. Food always cheers me up when I'm down! You know what? I think spending time with my family and eating food would be what I would choose!
