Making ghusal in a shower

Q:

1. As most houses have showers in the bathrooms for taking baths. Please advice what will be the way for taking ghusl-e-janaabat with shower.

2. I have hip dislocation from birth due to which I am not able to lift my legs after a certain height. As in most of the offices there isn't a proper place for wuzoo and people doing wozoo in the wash basin also wash their feet in the wash basin. My problem is that I can't lift my legs till the height of the wash basim. What should I do in that case?

Bleeding gums

Q: I very recently had my wisdom teeth removed, and will have another one removed in the next few weeks. After my tooth was surgically removed, it bled continuously for hours (after such procedures, there is continuous bleeding expect for 24-48 hours). Now, I know it is not permissible to swallow blood, however I cannot continuously rinse my mouth, in fact rinsing and spitting to harshly after such surgery can lead to dry sockets which are very painful. I also find it very difficult not to swallow for such a long time (it seems practically impossible for me). What should I do about the blood in this situation? (Note that this is not a small amount of blood). Also, so far I have been praying by having a good supply of tissue in my hand or on the ground next to me and spitting the blood out onto those as I pray. Is this acceptable? Lastly, how do I eat in this situation (when whatever I eat will no doubt mix with the blood in my mouth)? Thank you so much for your help. May Allah bless you.

Enema

Q:

1. Does an enema make ghusal waajib?

2. Does inserting a finger into the anal passage make ghusal waajib?

3. Liquid is inserted into the colon via an enema. The liquid is held in for a prescribed time and then expelled, generally with a bowel movement. If oil is used in the enema, then it is common for small amounts of fluid to leak from the colon and anal passage out of the anus. This may continue for several hours.  Underwear and the area around the anus is generally soiled with this leaking fluid. What is the status of this fluid? Is it in the category of stool?
