Hi Adrienne, your techique and description for getting out of bed are
really good. The only thing that I can add to that may be to have
mounted near the head of the bed but parallel to it a grab bar or set a
very sturdy and heavy chair that you can grab also. Another device that
can be used if you have some decent upper torso and arm strength is a
trapeze. This is a triangle of metal that hangs down from the ceiling or
from a clamped L bar over the bed. You reach up grab the bottom bar of
the triangle and pull yourself up.
