's message, "your own thermometer" on Thursday, August 09, 2012, 08:26: pm
In our house, we had a shared rectal thermometer when I was little. I can vaguely remember lying on the sofa in the living room as my temperature was being taken rectally. At the time I didn't care for the rectal method. That thermometer eventually disappeared - at least I never saw it again once my temp at home was taken orally.
I finally had my own personal rectal thermometer (my parents never found out about it) when I was 13, although I missed a golden opportunity to acquire one some five years earlier. I was at a drugstore not far from our house and there were rectal thermometers openly displayed that were for sale. Why I didn't buy one then is something I'll never know.

The same thermometer was used on both my older sister and I as far as I can remember. Mom had a glass rectal thermometer in a red plastic case, that was kept in the corner of the top bathroom drawer. It was an older style B-D with the stubby pear shaped bulb. If both my sister and I were sick at the same time, that same thermometer would be stuck up both our rearends numerous times till we got better. I can remember hearing my sister crying in her room, mom was taking her rectal temperature. That was a dreaded sound, because I knew I would shortly be getting it stuck up my butt as soon as she was through with my sister.

Mom had one RT used on me, my younger brother and older sister. It was kept in our upstairs bathroom's cabinet.
When I was older (around 10) and got to like the feel of it and the enema nozzle sliding into my butt, I occasionally took the RT to bed with me and used it on myself. I had such a fun time
