My doctor sent me home with strict instructions to rest after my surgery. He didn’t say where or how to rest, so the next day, Lance and Dani picked me up and drove me around the South Shore of Massachusetts.
There was another storm brewing, so we got some spectacular views of an angry, angry ocean battling the rocky shoreline. I love me a good storm!
These pictures most certainly don’t do the waves justice.
We mostly stayed in the car on account of the rain, but got out to get a better look at the chaos a couple times. It was cold (I tried to write “wicked cold,” but I just don’t have it in me), and I was comically underdressed. So I got back in the car, lickety-split.
Lance is demonstrating how hard it was blowing by leaning into the wind.
On the way back, we drove around near Wompatuck State Park and found the best leaves of the season:
I don’t even think my hosts noticed how drugged up I was. In fact, maybe the waves weren’t nearly as spectacular as I thought they were. Oh well, it was a good time either way.

I wonder if you could have gotten some of your mothers genes that make the body and the mind not mind the doctor. Or maybe they (the genes) just say that there is another interpretation to the doctors instructions that is lots better than what he actually said. At least you got to see the ocean and beautiful leaves before you die.
That's almost as good as a trip to Maddox an hour after surgery! They did try to feed me. It didn't work. You look great! How's the pain level by now? The pics are spectacular!
Yes, I seem to recall my doctor saying something like, "Take two trips- one to the ocean and one to peep at leaves- and call me in the morning," the day of my recovery.
Pics are gorgeous- not just your pain meds.
What did the doctor want you to do? Just sit around? If I were to guess, I'd say these were pretty relaxing activities for you.
Looks gorgeous! Never been to the ocean during a storm -- that looks like a must do one of these days.
Sorry to hear about the surgery and reactions! Hope all is getting better!
