New Knee, new challenges

[Boopuff]

I had a TKR a year ago. Just got back from WDW. I am fully ambulatory, no scooter, walker... nothing. I was suprised at how difficult some of the rides have become, just due to my range of motion. I thought I'd share my findings on the things I rode. (obviously I don't ride a lot! I'm mainly baby watcher!)
MK
Tron: had to ride in the seat (but boy the ride did me in!)
Pirates: Ok easy in/out
Small World: Nope. Can't do it anymore seat way too low and tight
Haunted Mansion: easy on/off
Jungle Cruise: easy on/off with family giving me a hand
Speedway: nope: cars are way too low and really hard to get out of.

Epcot
Remy: Easy on/off
Living with Land: easy on/needed a hand to get off
Seas: Easy on/off

AK
Safari: easy on/off
Navi River: really difficult low seat, needed help out

HS
MMRR: easy on/off
Toy Story: easy on/needed hand to steady getting off
Alien Swirling: tight seat (knee hit front) needed hand getting off

Walking all day was something! I really should've rested more. But the trip was awesome!

Thanks for this! I would have thought Jungle Cruise and Small World would be similar as they both require you to lower yourself into a boat.

I haven't needed any replacements as yet but just with age, I find it is harder getting in and out, off and on various things.
I wonder if I will be the person that they have to pull out of ride because I am not able to get out on my own.

I certainly know how you feel.
