A couple of days later...

"Good morning Jenifer." Nurse Tina's too cheery voice woke Jenny as she felt the nurse wrap the blood pressure cuff around her arm. Jenny was a bit groggy as she had been woken up several times during the night. Due to the IV fluids, she had gotten up twice in the night to pee and once she woken up sweating a shivering as her fever crashed for the night. Plus she had a vague memory of half waking to nurse Jessica rolling her over and sliding a thermometer into her butt without so much as a hello.

"'s it morning? Yawhnnnnnnn - cough - cough - cough I don't feel like I got a whole night sleep. I kept getting woken up."

Putting the blood pressure cuff away, Tina handed her some tissues and asked her "Can you sit up for me so that I can listen to your lungs?"

As she sat up Tina untied her gown but left it mostly in place, just exposing her back. "Take a deep breath in. Now let it out." Tina repeated as she moved the stethoscope over her back.

"Well that sounds like your lungs are clearing a little. Turn over on your tummy for me. I need to get your temperature and give you your morning Tylenol." Tina said as she put away her stethoscope and turned to prepare the thermometer. Tina worked all over the floor and preferred to use a prone position for temperatures and suppositories. It gave her more control.

Jenny sighed and rolled over, being careful not to tangle either the IV or her oxygen. Even though Tim probably had less of view of her butt this way, she some how felt more exposed as she felt Tina pull the covers down to her knees and open her gown.

Tina reached down and used her left hand to spread Jenny's buttocks wide enough to see her puckered anus. She then placed the slimy thermometer bulb against her anus and waited for it to relax.

Jenny felt the cold hard thermometer slide into her rectum and then felt her buttocks released. She didn't feel the warm hand across her bottom that she was used to. "Great. I don't even get that cover." She thought.

Tina looked down at the teen lying face down on the bed, back and butt bare, with a thermometer peaking between her cheeks. She held the thermometer loosly between thumb and forefinger and looked at her watch. She had noticed that the girl was covered with a thin layer of sweat.

"It looks like you had some chills during the night. Sometimes people with infections will go through a cycle where their fever breaks temporarily during the night."

"Yeah, I woke up shivering a couple of times and I feel all gross and sweaty." Jenny said.

"Well after breakfast, I will see about arranging a bed bath for you and new sheets and a gown."

After a couple of more minutes, Tina said, "let's check your reading." And Jenny felt her cheeks spread wide and the odd sensation of the thermometer being pulled from her anus.

"Well, your temperature is down to 100.2. That's an improvement, but it is early in the morning, so it is probably going to be going up. Just lie there and I will get your Tylenol." Tina said as she put on gloves and lubricated a finger.

Jenny felt her buttocks spread wide again and then felt the suppository and Tina's finger enter her. Unlike the other nurses, Tina removed her finger quickly, but after snapping off her glove, put her hand across Jenny's bottom, squeezing her buttocks together for 20 seconds or so.

Giving Jenny a final pat on her butt, Tina said. "All done. Let's get you turned back over." She then helped Jenny roll back over and get covered up.

As Jenny started to turn, she felt Tina's arms around her chest pulling her up to help her roll over. She was a little uncomfortable as she felt Tina's hand and arm brush her breasts.

After getting Jenny settled, she moved on to Tim. Tim had half watched her with the others in the room and knew what was coming his way. Now that he was off the heavy pain meds he was a little more aware of his surrounding and had had to "think of baseball" especially when Carla had her temperature taken, as her position across the room had put her in direct line of his sight.

As she took out her stethoscope, nurse Tina asked him. "How is your side feeling this morning?"

"Not bad. As long as I don't bump it, it's fine. I had a good night's sleep." Tim said as Tina slipped the stethoscope under his gown to listen to his heart. Satisfied, she wrapped the blood pressure cuff around his arm and pumped it up until she could no longer hear his pulse. She then let the air out slowly noting when the pluse came back and left again.

"115 over 75. Very good. Now let me check your wound before I get your temperature." Tina said as she she removed the cuff and noted the reading.

Abruptly, Tina pulled down the covers to mid thigh and pulled up his gown to inspect his incision. Tim blushes a bit as he realizes how exposed he is.

"That is healing nicely. They will probably be sending you home soon. But let's get you turned over so I can get your temperature." Tim tried to keep his front covered as Tina helped him turn over. Even if his butt was exposed, his genitals were covered. Well, Tina would see some stuff from the back, but he was sure that she got a good look at everything while inspecting his incision.

"Just relax and spread your legs a little bit." Tina said as she was getting the thermometer ready. She then turned around and bent over Tim.

Tim first felt Tina's breath on his bottom. Then he felt her thumb and first two fingers slip in between his buttocks and pry them widely apart. Next he tensed up as the cold thermometer touched his anus. It seem to stay there forever (3 seconds), before his anus relaxed and Tina slid the thermometer into him.

As Tina released his buttocks, Tim felt her fingers rest gently hold the thermometer where it peaked out between his cheeks. It was embarrassing, but somehow comforting.

After a few minutes of quite short talk, he felt her spread his buttocks again and withdraw the thermometer. Tim quickly turned back over and covered up as Tina was cleaning and reading the thermometer.

"99.2. Normal. You do seem to be doing better. The aid will be in shortly with breakfast." Tina said before leaving the room to continue her rounds.

An aid had just finished distributing breakfast and Jenny was eyeing the "coffee" dubiously, when Dr. Lee came in the room followed by William and a couple of other medical students, both women, in short coats. Dr. Lee pulled Jenny's chart from the end of the bed, glancing at it before passing it to William.

"It looks like you fever may have broken over night. How are you feeling Jenny?" She asked as she got out her stethoscope and untied the top of Jenny's gown.

"Better. I'm still tired. I kept waking up to pee and I am still coughing a little, but it is a lot easier to breath." Resigning her self to be exposed again. To her surprise, one of the new students pulled the curtain most of the way as Dr. Lee pulled her gown down and asked her to sit up.

As she sat there bare breasted in front of the doctor and medical students, Dr. Lee put one hand on her back and used the other to put the stethoscope just under her right breast and listened to her heart. Then Dr. Lee asked her to start breathing in and out as she moved the stethoscope all over her chest and back, sometimes stopping to thump on her while listening.

After being satisfied with what she heard, Dr. Lee had Jenny open wide to look down her throat and checked her ears. Finally, she did a quick check of Jenny's lympth nodes feeling her throat first and then the ones in her armpits and along her breasts. Jenny blushed deeply as she had one of the medical students, fortunately one of the female one, listen to her lungs and repeat the lymph node exam.

"No, Lynn, you need to go more medial." Dr. Lee said to student as she was feeling under Jenny's arm. Dr. Lee moved Lynn's hand to side of Jenny's breast and moved it along to side. "Don't be shy. You need to feel the ones along the side of the breast too."

After having Lynn repeat the exam on the other side, she asked Jenny to "Please lie back." Jenny's relief when Dr. Lee covered her top with the gown, turned to mortification when she flipped up the bottom of Jenny's gown exposing her from her rib cage to her knee's.

Dr. Lee made Lynn palpate Jenny's abdomen and the lymph nodes in her groin. "Good, Lynn. You will get used to doing these sorts of exams. We have a uro patient in the next room. I am going to be doing a full genital exam with prostate on him and I am going to have you repeat it." Dr. Lee said as she was covering Jenny up.

Jenny was sure who was more embarrassed, her or Lynn. “No”, Jenny thought. "It's me. I was the one on display."

While making notes in Jenny's chart, Dr. Lynn said. "You are making a lot of progress Jenny. I think that you may be ready to go home tomorrow or the next day. I'm taking you off of the steroids, IV fluids, Tylenol, and O2, but I will leave an order in place to put you back on the O2 if you start having trouble breathing. I am going to order a couple of more doses of the antibiotics though. Sorry."

Jenny was happy to get rid of the IV and the O2. She was certainly happy to skip any more Tylenol suppositories. She had gotten used to the thermometers, but a finger up your butt over and over.....

But two more antibiotic shots? "My poor butt" she thought as Dr. Lee had one of the students disconnect her from the oxygen.

Seeing that Jenny was doing OK off of the oxygen, Dr. Lee and the students moved on to Carla. Still reading through the chart, she says to Carla. "It looks like the antibiotics and the hydroculator treatments are working well. Your fever is gone and nurses report that that wound looks good. How is the pain?"

"Good. It has stopped hurting. Those heat treatments helped a lot." Carla said, then more hesitantly, "I have been having another problem though. I have been having some problem ... going to the bathroom. Number 2."

Dr. Lee was unfazed. "Yes, that can be a side effect of the pain medication that you are on. I am probably going to stop that anyway, but we will check you out and maybe have the nurse give you something to get you going again. Go ahead and lie back so we can look at your leg." Dr. Lee said as she pulled down the covers and pulled up Carla's gown.

Dr. Lee examined the wound, happy to see that he redness had almost completely retreated. She then took Carla's leg and moved it through a full range of motion, unconcerned about exposing her. She then directed one of the students to repeat her exam.

"Well it is looking good. I think that if it still looking good tomorrow, we can send you home. Now let me check to see just how backed up you are. Is it just your bowels or are you having trouble urinating too?"

"No, I can pee OK." Carla said.

"Lynn, I am going to have you repeat the abdominal and rectal exams." Dr. Lee said as she pulled Carla's gown up to her chest, exposing her from the bottom of her ribs down. The curtains were pulled enough that Tim could not see her exposed groin, but Carla was very aware of the medical students staring at her.

Dr. Lee used her stethoscope to listen to Carla's bowel sounds and then began to palpate her abdomen, feeling her bowels for content and, despite what Carla said, feeling her bladder. She then had Lynn repeat the exam, directing her as she went and lecturing the other students. "You need to expose the whole area, from just below the breasts to mid thigh." "A little to the left and deeper. You should feel it full of stool." "Feel a little lower to palpate the bladder. That's right."

Putting on gloves and reaching for the lubricant next to the rectal thermometer holder on the night stand, Dr. Lee said, "Carla, can you roll over on your left side and pull your knees up a bit? I need to feel inside your bottom to make sure that you are not impacted. Don't worry, it will just feel like getting a suppository."

Wishing that she had not mentioned the constipation, Carla rolled over and pulled up her knees as instructed. She felt Dr. Lee lift her right buttock and press her finger against her anus. After a couple of seconds, she felt a firm pressure as the finger penetrated her and then a an in and out motion. Finally, she felt releif as the finger was withdrown, but she wasn't done yet.

"You don't feel too impacted, but your stool is beginning to harden. I am going have the nurse give you a nice warm enema to get you started again."

"Lynn, please repeat the exam" Dr. Lee said as she switched places with the medical student.

Lynn tried to calm herself as she looked at Carla lying in bed. The position exposed her vulva as well as her firm bottom. Lynn was still trying to get used to having to deal with touching private parts. Still, if she was going to have to do a MALE genital and prostate exam next, this would be a little less embarrassing.

"You're going to feel me touch you Carla. I'll be as gentle as I can." Lynn said before putting her hand on the teen's buttock and raising it. It was warmer under her bare hand than she expected. She then touched Carla's anus with her gloved and lubricated finger and paused for a second, waiting for the anus to relax. Before she could lose her nerve, she pushed her finger in trying to visualized what was inside.

"I can feel the stool. It is a little hard, but doesn't seem too big to pass." Lynn said as she removed her finger and then used some tissues to wipe the excess lubricant from Carla's cheeks.

"Yes, she doesn't need to be dis-impacted yet, but I think that it is a little past using a stool softener. A warm enema will soften it up and make it easier to pass. I will also order some bulk laxatives. The two of those should put her right as rain."

"We will give you one more dose of antibiotics tonight and one more round of the hydoc treatments and plan on releasing you tomorrow." Dr. Lee said before heading off with her students to the next room.

Jenny had just finished her breakfast when nurse John entered trailed by a nursing student. Jenny was pretty sure she knew what was in the basin that he carried.

"Well Jenny, I bring good news and bad news." John said as he closed the curtains around her. "The good news is that I am going to take out the IV. The bad news is that I have today’s dose of antibiotics for you."

Jenny sighed, but tried to remain brave. "Can you take out the IV first?" Jenny asked, trying to delay the inevitable for a few more minutes.

"Sure." Said John as he took her arm. After removing the tape that held the tubing in place, he put a piece of gauze over the site, he pulled out the IV canula and pressed down hard to stop any bleeding. After a moment or so, he removed the gauze and put a band aid it it's place.

"OK, Jenny, I need you to roll over now." John says as he pulls the covers down to her knees and then lowered the head of the bed. Facing the inevitable, Jenny rolled over and buried her face in the pillow. She felt John part her hospital gown, fully exposing her pale white butt. She then felt his hand grab the top of her right cheek, gently squeezing it as he cleaned a spot with a cold alcohol pad.

"Alison, for these larger injections, we often use the glutal muscul. It can take a larger volume thant the deltoid and is less painful than the thigh. You want to be sure that you are in the upper out quadrant to avoid the sactic nerve. Now watch."

"Try to relax Jenny, take a deep breath and let it out. 3 2 1" As she let out the breath, John smoothly darted the thick needle into Jenny's buttock at a ninty degree angle. Jenny gave a little "Epp" as the needle went in. After pulling back to check for blood, John slowly pushed the thick medicine in.

Jenny gave a little "Epp" as she felt the sharp stabbing pain in her butt. This was quickly followed but the familiar burning that spread as John pushed the medicine in. She was just starting to tear up when the fire stopped spreading. After the needle was withdrawn and a band aid placed, she felt John gently massaging her bottom.

"I wish that I could get the massage without the shot." She thought to herself as John closed her gown and helped her turn over. As she turned over, she noticed that an aid had partial opened the curtains and entered with sheets and basins.

"I hope that the shot didn’t hurt too bad. I will leave you to May here." John said, referring to the aid.

"Jenny, I was going to give you a bed bath and change your bed, but since your IV is gone, you might want to use the shower instead."

"Oh yes, please. I've had far too many people seeing me naked lately."

"Well here is a fresh gown, towel, and washcloth. I will be here getting the bed changed if you need me."

As Jenny went to the bathroom at the back of the room, she sees nurse Tina come back in the room, pushing a wheel chair towards Carla's bed. After locking the door, Jenny strips off her gown and steps naked into the shower. She stands with her back to the spray, letting the hot water south her poor abused bottom.

Tina pushed Carla's wheelchair into the treatment room, followed by the nursing student Alison. (She had peeled off Alison from John since Alison had not yet had a chance to give an enema.)

"Go ahead and hop up on the table Carla, while we get the enema ready." Tina said as she turned to Alison.

"Carla's temperature was 99.1 rectally earlier, so let's try to get the enema a little warmer, around 102." Tina said directing the nursing student.

Carla sat on the exam table watching them with mixed feeling. One the one hand, she was not looking forward to the enema. She had them a few times before, and while not horrible, they were uncomfortable and embarrassing. On the other hand she was feeling uncomfortably backed up. "At least the brought me here to do it in private." she thought.

Alison came over to Carla with gloves on a "friendly, calming" smile. "OK Carla, I need to give you your enema. Can you turn on your left side for me and pull up your knees? Normally we would have you up on your knees, but I don't want to put too much strain on your leg."

Carla did as she asked and then hear her say. "OK, I am going to uncover you and then put my finger in your bottom to make it slippery for the enema tube. It will feel a lot like I am giving you a suppository."

"Joy" Carla thought as she rolled over on to her side. She felt Alison expose her bottom and then rearrange her legs a bit, moving her right leg forward. Then she felt her butt cheeks separated and Alison's finger enter her. She felt the fullness as Alison slipped her finger in and out, thoroughly lubrcating her anus.

Alison was satisfied that Carla was sufficiently lubricated, she saidto her "You are going to feel me insert the nozzle. It will feel a bit like getting your temperature taken. Then I will let the water in. Let me know if you feel any cramps and I will slow the water down."

Alison lifted Carla's buttock again and bent over so she could see the pink rose of her anus clearly. She then placed the thick but well lubed nozzle against Carla's anus and waited for it to relax. When it did, she gently but firmly slid the nozzle in.

Carla felt the nozzle being pushed further and further into her rectum. This was much thicker feeling then a thermometer or even a finger. The pressure eased up a bit as the swollen retention section at the end of the nozzle passed her anus. Then she she heard, "Here comes the water" and felt a gentle but growing warm pressure in her abdomen.

Carla then felt Alison's hand gently massage her tummy. This relieved the feeling of cramping that was starting. Carla realized that Alison had the water flowing much more slowly than the enemas she had had in the past.

After a few minutes, she heard Alisom say "Let's turn you on your back now." As Alison helped her turn over on to her back, she felt Tina slip a pillow under her butt. Carla blushed as she realized that she was full display from the ribs down. She blushed even deeper as she felt Alison’s hand brush over her bush as Alison continued to massage her stomach.

Finally the rolled her over on to her right side and let the rest of the water flow in.

"I am going to slide the tube out now honey, but I need you to clench down and hold the water in for a few minute. I know it is hard, but it will help soften things up."

Carla then felt Alison press a pad to her anus and slide the tub out while squeezing her buttocks together. With her hand on Carla's butt, Alison helped her into the small attached bathroom and on to the toilet. "Try to hold it for another minute or two if you can. I will help you get cleaned up and into a new gown when you are done." Alison said as she closed the door most of the way and went to clean up the equipment.

Mean while, Danny from transportation had come to take Jenny for a new chest x-ray. Danny helped her into her robe to cover her butt and then got her settled into the wheel chair and took her on the long twisted path to radiology, where he left her in a waiting room with several others.

After a while a young man in a white coat comes out and calls "Jenny Finch?" Jenny raises her hand and after double checking her wrist band, the tech unlocks her wheel chair and pushes her back room with an x-ray machine.

"OK, Jenny, time for your pictures. I need you to remove your robe and stand here, grabbing these bars." Jenny gets up and reluctantly removes her robe, after making sure her gown is in place.

Unfortunately, she feels the tech untie her gown and pull it open all the way open. She turns deeply red as another MAN is seeing her bare butt.

"Sorry, but I have to get you lined up properly." He says as he lines her body up for the picture. He then wraps a heavy lead filled apron around her waist. She is not happy where his hands have to go, but at least her butt is now covered.

As he steps behind a shield, he says. "Take in a deep breath and hold it in." As she does, she hears a buzzing sound and then, "You can breath out now."

He removes the lead apron and turns her around having her hold her hands in the air. This time he pulls the gown out to line her up. She is pretty sure that he got a good view of her breast from the side and maybe even her bush. He re-wraps the apron around her waist and repeats the x-ray.

After repeating from the other side, her tells her to put her robe back on and to have a seat while he checks to make sure that the images were good.

Fifteen minutes later he comes back and takes her to the waiting room where Danny is waiting to take her back back to her room.

As she settles back into bed to wait for supper, she hopes that the x-rays will be clear and that she will soon be heading home.
