When nurse practitioner stop by the house

Last month after I was two days confined to bed with aches and pains throughout my body my wife asked our neighbor a pediatric nurse practitioner to stop by the house. Upon her arrival my wife directed her to our bed room and continued doing household chores. The nurse entered the room caring a large medical bag which she placed on the chair next to the bed. She broke the ice joking by asking how this boy is feeling. My wife enters the room just as the nurse practitioner asks me to roll over on to my tummy taking to me like a pediatric patient. It was obvious my wife was going to stay in the room next the practitioner seeing the surprise look my wife had said a rectal temperature taking is more accurate. She said in children a slightly elevated temperature may indicate a serious infection and so as a pediatric nurse practitioner I only carry a rectal thermometer in my medical bag. The next I did was to put my head into the pillow as she proceeded to insert the thermometer into my rectum. I had to suffer the embarrassment of two women looking at the thermometer protruding from my bottom.

I admit to being curious about how it all turned out. Is your wife usually involved in play? Or was this an unusual occurrence for her?

It is embarrassing having your spouse present when you're having something stuck up your butt, especially if the nurse is of the opposite sex and the same age or younger. My wife witnessed a young female nurse give me an enema in the hospital. It didn't seem to faze her a bit, but it just felt awkward to me. I'd preferred the nurse left and just let my wife give me the enema, or make my wife leave the room if she had to do it herself through protocol. What was even worse happened the next week. One of my wife's classmates from high school stuck a thermometer up my butt with my wife right there watching. Again, it was unbearable for me, but neither of them seemed to care in the least. My wife's a nurse, so I guess things like that don't bother them because they see it and do it all the time. I told her it bothered me when that happens. Her response was "it's no big deal baby, just an instrument going in a puckered hole". I just shook my head in disbelief and she laughed and said "What? It bothers you that bad? Get over it!"
