Did any of you hear the doctor say to give you an enema injection to help with your illness. I always got an enema after the doctor gave me a shot in my rump....the doctor told my mother that, since I was already turned on my stomach, she might as well give me an enema. It would not hurt to give him an enema he would say. As soon as he left, my mother got out the funnel, 1 qt pitcher and rectal tube and gave me an enema. She usually had to refill the pitcher at least once during the enema. This was a good half hour to forty five min. enema experience given with a small funnel. My last funnel enema was when I was 16 on my back on the bathroom floor.

I don't remember the doctor or nurse ever giving me or my sisters an enema. Mom would do that and it always seemed when you were constipated and not just sick.

All I remember them doing anything like that was taking our temperature. At the office I remember it seemed like a rite of passage. Once you were old enough you got to avoid that embarrassing ordeal. I know it made me feel a lot older as I watched my sisters laying on the table with the nurse holding the thermometer stuck up their bottom.

There was that transition age where I'd watch my sisters temperature taken and when it was my turn if the nurse made me roll over, I felt like I was still a baby.
