In reply to: jeff 's message, "temperature procedure" on Sunday, December 19, 2010, 03:22: pm

I was made to lay on my stomach and my mom would have me "lift up a little" as she pulled my underwear down to the backs of my knees. The Vaseline covered thermometer was then inserted up into my rectum for about 5 minutes. No less than 1 half of the thermometer was always inserted. She held the thermometer between her fingers, while resting her hand on my bottom the entire time. If I attempted to squeeze or push the thermometer out, my cheeks were held open for the duration of the temperature taking.

I don't remember ever having it taken in any position other than on my tummy. Memories before age 6 are pretty hazy, so if it was ever different before then, I don't remember. At the doctor's office, the nurse always held the thermometer in place the entire time, and I was never covered up during any part of having a temp taken, underwear was down at knees. At home was pretty much exactly the same. I knew nothing else, the whole procedure was pretty much the same every time, so I never imagined it being done differently.
