>1. At least three times, someone kicked my cane. All of those three times resulted in me nearly falling.

This is shitty. This is assholes being assholes, it isn't right but it's to be expected when such large groups of people gather.  The best and worst of humanity.
 
>2. People stared. I mean, I had dramatic bi flag colored eyeshadow and a huge bi flag cape, so I’d love to imagine they were staring at THAT and not my cane, but, no.

People stare at me all the time and have for the last 3 decades. Yesterday there was a boy with a disability and he couldn't stop staring. Maybe because it's probably not every day he sees a grown up with a disability? He was rendered speechless when he saw me the first time and his head was on swivel. I am pretty sure he did a triple-take stopping and turning around absolutely bewildered. I kept smiling at him every time we passed because he would stare with this absolute look of awe and I hope I made his day.

Sometimes people stare at things they're not accustomed to seeing, myself included. Is it rude? Sometimes. You're at this HUGE event. A higher number of people are going to stare. Maybe it's not all rude. Maybe some are wishing they brought their disabled sister or they're lost in a memory of their disabled friend that died.

I once had a woman chew me out for staring at her disabled child. Sorry, but she only thought I was staring. The reality of it was they happened to be between me and where I was looking. I didn't even see them. They had no idea I was looking past them.

You can't assume you know anything about the intent of another person in a crowd, it makes you look super foolish when your wrong.

>3. Cane.People LOUDLY pointing it out. Stop.

As for your cane, is it awesome? Are you awesome? Take pride in yourself. You're out celebrating PRIDE. Don't let this stupid shit bother you.

>4. There’s almost no where to sit. Not great when you need to sit every 5 seconds.

This is where you need to be proactive and depend on yourself to take care of your needs. Bring a wheelchair. Bring a cane with a seat. Bring a rollator with a seat. Expect reasonable accommodations, you said yourself you need to sit every 5 seconds.

>5. The parade organizers didn’t announce at all when we’d all be moving. It “started” at 10:30 but we didn’t move until almost 1.

This is typical of these kind of events. Things happen. Have you googled to see if something beyond the parade organizer's control happened?

>6. The parade route is hilly and is full of shittily paved roads, bumps, cracks, loose rocks, etc. I struggled with my cane, i can’t imagine how someone in a chair would manage.

This is San Fransisco, California, USA. You should expect hills and shitty roads. I know I would probably not be able to do the whole parade. I would consider finding out if it were possible to do part.  Maybe this is why you didn't see more disabled people? Maybe they know something you don't and only do part of the parade. Reach out to the disabled community in SF, ask what you should know prior to participating!

>7. For a decent stretch of the route, every other block or so is filled in with these grate things (to let air in I guess?) the holes in the grates are big enough to fit my cane through it. These grates cover most of the area for that stretch besides a small patch. I’m short and the crowd was thick, so I couldn’t see when a grate area was coming up. So when I got to one, i had to frantically hobble across the swarm to get my strip of freedom.

Well, now you know and you can prepare better for the future. Bring a larger cane tip next time. Something like this?

>8. NAKED ASS MEN. Literally naked men walking around, penis out, in front ofKIDS. Children. I get dressing skimpy for a thing, that’s cool, but your gentitals shouldn’t be out in public in the first place and DEFINITELY shouldn’t be out in front of kids. It can and WAS a trigger for sex repulsed people and rape victims.

The parade provides a family friendly area...but this is San Fransisco isn't public nudity a thing there?

I've actually paused a moment and done some googling because I was super curious about this and turns out it is perfectly legal for this to happen. Know your local laws.


I don't know what to say but your entire post is seriously showing your inexperience. You are a kid and have a lot of living and learning to do. (The same as I did and a lot of other young people.)

Yes, it's super fucking shitty that people kicked your cane but like everything else? Let it go. Some things you are just plain ignorant about.

Also, be the change. Educate yourself in the real issues where you truly see short comings. Organize. Partner with the parade create where they lack, these parade organizers have some amazing accessibility options that I have never seen anywhere. Speak up and be heard. I would bet anything these people will listen if you appropriately share with them.

Great job, I found the same design/video online and made the board with Jatoba and Ambrosia maple. A joiner definitely helped. But hey, great job. I made a small addition to mine that I would recommend. I put 4 of these in the corners

http://www.amazon.com/MintCraft-Black-Rubber-Screw-360-1044/dp/B000KL2BXI/ref=sr_1_14?ie=UTF8&qid=1370569780&sr=8-14&keywords=rubber+feet

It helps prevent water getting underneath and causing problems such as cracks.

u/Ashoka_Bahuksana · 3 pointsr/ChronicPain

You can get an adjustable cane like this, I would also suggest getting one of these with it.
You could look into your local YMCA for a pool or gym.
If he has insurance he may be able to get doctor ordered physical therapy.
My father (who also has back issues) used to put a sheet of plywood in between his mattress and box springs to give him more support. ymmv.

u/LIKEASTONEDMONKEY · 3 pointsr/ChronicPain

I just put a rubber quad cane tip on my canes. It stands up by its self and has better stability. I bought mine from Amazon. Hugo Mobility Quadpod Ultra Stable Cane Tip with Compact Quad Design, 3/4 Inches, Black https://www.amazon.com/dp/B005IV0DYY/ref=cm_sw_r_em_apa_i_Zx9zDbXJKAZPJ

You can also get one of these things do it doesn't fall over. I have one on mine and it works great.

Broke my back in 4 places, January 2009.

Now the proud owner of a full spinal fusion (T1 all the way down to L4/5), and no discs below the cervical spine, as well as a C5-C7 fusion, shattered pelvis, and some other stuff that is minor in comparison.

Doctors told me that the chances of my walking again were slim at best, and that if I did manage it, I'd have to rely on a walker or a cane for support.

I spent ~18 months in a wheelchair.

Then I spent ~3 months using a walker.

Now, some days I need a forearm crutch or a cane, and some days I don't.

But at least I'm walking again.

Now here's the bad news.

I have permanent nerve damage to most of my lower body. I have feeling in specific areas of each leg, but both legs are ~95% numb. This can make walking tricky at best, especially if I get in a rush. I sometimes lose track of where my feet are in relation to the rest of my body, which means I stumble or fall down once or twice a week. Competing in IDPA, my times have gone way up, since I just can't move as fast as I used to.

"Waste removal" is pretty tricky with the nerve damage. I no longer have an issue urinating or voiding my bowels, but I get exactly zero notice when it's that time. By the time I feel the urge to go, I need to be within a minute of a restroom. Otherwise, there's issues (Yes, I'm an almost-40-year-old man, and in the last 3 years I've lost count of how many times I've shit my pants. It's sad, but true.).

Another byproduct of the nerve damage is that my dick doesn't work. Oh, it'll get hard, but only when it wants to. I'm extraordinarily self conscious about this, and as a result, haven't even tried dating or getting laid since I got hurt.

I had to buy a tall bed, comes up to just past my waist. This way, I can literally roll to a standing position to get up in the morning.

Now for the best part.

The chronic, never-ending pain. I hurt all the time. Literally. If I'm awake, I'm in pain. Some days are better than others, but it's always there. I don't use any narcotics for pain management, not because I fear becoming dependent upon them, but because they constipate me terribly. So I take a lot of ibuprofen, naproxen sodium, and once or twice a week I'll get a nice beer buzz. But that's it.

But I'm alive. And I can walk (for the most part). And I can get out of bed every morning (some days it takes me an hour to do, but I always manage). And I'm not stuck in a goddamn wheelchair for the rest of my life.

TL;DR: Broke my back in several places, was confined to a wheelchair for over a year, my dick doesn't work right so I'm afraid to try and get laid, and I occasionally shit or piss myself, but at least I can walk upright again.
