Slept in this for two nights for the wedding party. You have to have a sleeping pad in the bottom or you will get cold underneath. You have to make sure you get in such that when you are finished that your good hand is on the zipper side of the mosquito netting. You do have to be able to pull your affected leg almost up to your butt to get it inside the netting. The first night I spent 15 minutes just trying to get my feet into the foot of the sleeping bag, it was a warm night I was not planning on zipping the bag at all, just use it as a blanket. Worked fine except I couldn't get the bag over my right shoulder very well. The main problem was getting out. You once again have to be able to pull your affected leg to your butt to clear the netting zipper. That was the easy part. When you finally have both legs dangling over the edge you have to somehow push your body out of the depression. One-handed pushing doesn't work very well. There is some sense of urgency here since the reason for waking up in the middle of the night is to pee. I did consider just falling out of the hammock onto the ground, but when I fell out of bed once while in the hospital that just triggered an immediate release of urine. The probable solution would be to have the hammock low enough so your feet solidly touch the ground when sitting in it. OR you could have use of both arms and hands to push yourself out. That is an ADL your therapist should be able to solve. I don't think there would be any way I could ever manage to get the sleeping bag zipped up in cold weather. I can't even do that on the ground. Slept just fine both nights, there is only one position so don't plan on squirming around at all.
