I was moving to full time hanging and had a most flukey accident related to hammocking. Thought I'd share in hopes it might save someone else some misery. I had been laying in the hammock and was getting ready to get up so had swung my legs up over the edge. I got distracted by something and sat there for a while and realized my leg had gone to sleep as a result of my leg over the edge of the hammock... Got out of the hammock and stepped down on my foot and probably broke a bone in my ankle. Have a knot the size of a goose egg and will know after the ortho doc reads the x-rays. Stupid thing. So be careful when you sit in your hammock - make sure your legs have circulation before you get up! I won't do that again, for sure. The worst was explaining to everyone at Urgent Care and the drugstore that I broke my ankle getting out of a hammock. Won't live that one down. So don't do what I did!
