I think that the biggest problem for me is that my rear end is down basically in a pocket, and my legs are up higher because of the edge of the hammock. So I think that folding the edge of the hammock up/or in and then using that edge to push down with my hands and pushing back with my feet to a more upright position might make it easier for me to exit the hammock so I will have to try that. Thanks for all the good ideas.
Shug I can see why you had rotator cuff surgery lol.
