I'm a c7 quad, I can transfer to almost anything, able to cath with mtg ez gripper, almost get completely dressed. I have a little motor skill in left fingers and even less on right hand. My question is how in the world can I get where I can do my own BP program using enemeez and shower chair any tips would be appreciated

i'm the same level as you and i use a shower chair and enemeez for my bp. first i transfer to shower chair and then roll over toilet then i use my left hand to dilly and get all poo out then i insert enemeez. there is a dilly stick you can buy if you aren't able to dilly yourself. the enemeez is easy to handle and shouldn't give you a problem. i think you should give it a try there shouldn't be a problem.

i do have sensation. i don't use a dilly stick but i have tried one in the past. i think you're supposed to dilly for a minute before inserting the enemeez.
