Record of rectal temperatures.

Do you keep à record of your rectal temperatures ?

Yes I do. I use the Apple health app for this.

No, I was never interested in do that.

Yes I do. I use the Apple health app for this.

Same here. I do wish it had the option to specify how the temperature was measured for the recordings. When it imports from another app like the Kinsa thermometer that includes the location but I haven't found the option within the Health app itself.

A little while after our mom passed away, my sister and I were sorting through her things while cleaning out her condo. We found one box which held a couple of spiral notebooks in it, and in those notebooks our mom had recorded, religiously, every rectal temperature she had taken on us. She recorded the date/time/temperature and any symptoms she noted. We were amazed by this discovery, but not surprised, as mom was hyper sensitive to our health an was just a bit overzealous when it came to taking our rectal temps.

Smart to keep track of temperature when someone is sick to see how the fever is progressing.

Yes

No, I believe the last time this happened I was in hospital.

Only if I’m really sick and feverish should my doctor or caregiver need to know. What I keep a mental record of is who IS taking my rectal temperature.

Yes my Nurse does
