Up until I was about 6, the nurse gave me shots in the diaper position. It seemed like the all purpose position for everything....rectal temperatures, suppositories, shots..etc. I felt vulnerable and completely not in control, because my pants and underwear also kept me from moving my legs. I waited nervously, usually whimpering, for what was about to happen. I couldn't see what the nurse was doing, but I knew I'd either be feeling the cold discomfort of a thermometer being stuck up my butt, or the intense sting of a shot. When I got older, the nurse had me lay on my side, with my pants pulled all the way down to my knees. Then I could see it coming unfortunately, the rectal thermometer or a loaded needle.
