So, I just received a call from my dr who needs to schedule me for surgery 10 days before our disneyland trip (it was either that or 3 days so I decided 10). This trip is already is going to have it's share of challenges involved with the trip, but I 100% can't miss this trip or postpone it.
Dr has said no physical or strenuous activity for several weeks after surgery so I will now be in the restricted activity time frame. That means no swimming in hotel pool as well due to stitches.
I normally do every ride and E tickets are my favorite. My dr. hasn't been to DLR so can't comment on ride intensity but said rides like Six Flags were off the table. And listen to my body.
But I really don't want to be dumb and ride something I shouldn't and end up in trouble. Surgery will be in the abdomen area, so anything with a tight lap bar is out (dark ride style should be fine since it's not tight for me).
So I'm thinking rides I 100% shouldn't do are: Indiana Jones, Space Mountain, GOTG, Incredicoaster, Matterhorn, Goofys Sky School
What do you guys think about rides like, Splash, GRR, Star Tours, Canoes, Roger Rabbit, Racers, and BTMRR? Also ROTR and MFSR. I have only ridden MFSR twice? so I don't remember and have no idea about ROTR.
If I did water rides I would wear a poncho that way I don't have damp clothes sitting on the incisions. Any others I might want to consider not riding I didn't ilst?
UPDATE: Another question. What should we do with our extra day? We arrive Fri morning and are doing DL with the family Sat and Sun as they don't arrive until friday night. We were going to do Knotts friday, but that is definitely out as every ride there that is fun, in my opion, is out. Beach is out since I can't swim. Thoughts? We always do theme parks, water parks, or beach so i am in super new territory here.
