After a horrendous year my husband (age 55) and I are going to Disney! :cool1: However, I have one concern. Last November my husband was found unconscious in his truck with a broken back. They suspect he had a grand mal seizure which broke his back. He's doing great, but there is a bone spur which could go into his spinal cord and affect the mobility of his legs. He hasn't had another seizure and the doctor doesn't think it will occur again. I'm more concerned about his safety than rides so which rides should he avoid? I need to show him responses because he's feeling so good I'm afraid he'll go on rides that could cause damage. As an example, he wants to ride Dinosaur. :confused3

Generally the three warnings that Disney puts out concerning rides deal with heart conditions, bad backs, and pregnancy. I know that several years ago when I had a kidney out my surgeoon said for the next six months any of those warnings also applied to me.

I would suggest have a discussion with the most knowledgeable doctor concerning his conditions and follow that person's advice.
