One Saturday when I was 8, we were scheduled to have lunch with his parents. We had agreed to meet at a restaurant we all liked, at 12:30
I woke up about 6 and I just could not poop, at all. I asked Dad if I was going to have to get an enema. He told me that I could not afford to be showing any of the lingering effects while we were at lunch and so he didn't think we should do it under that circumstance.
That was when he told me what a suppository was. He double checked and made sure he was using the right strength.
I was still in my nightgown.
He explained how to put it in me. Essentially told me how it needed to go, put the suppository on a Kleenex and left me alone with it.
I knew he was trying to do what was best, and I stuck it in me just the way he described. I then went into his room to talk to him.
He asked me if I "Got it in OK" I said I did, and he said, "Now are you sure you got it far enough in that it can't fall out, even by accident?" I said I was sure.
He looked at the clock, It was 6:15. He said," Get dressed and do what you normally would. About 7:15-7:30 Try to take a poop. Whether or not it feels like you have to." I said "OK went about a normal Saturday morning. I tried to poop about 7:30 just like he said.
I got what I thought was a normal morning poop. A little loose, but I'd had worse more than once. So neither of us thought anything of it. Until we were driving to meet his parents!!!!
This was 11:45 or so! I nearly Pooped in the car! We had to find a public restroom. I was just passing liquid. Every 30 minutes or so, all through lunch, more liquid. A lot of gut rumbling in between. We got through lunch with a lot of bathroom breaks. He never told his parents about the suppository.
His Mom asked me if I ate something that caused my stomach to be upset. I told her I must have. I said I didn't know what it was. She said I should feel better "tomorrow" and it was probably a 24-hour "bug."
We hung around the nearby shopping center so there would be a public restroom nearby. By about 2:30 things settled down, and we headed home.
Dad asked me when we got on the highway, moving at speed, if I had "Taken anything else" to make me "go" I told him I had not.
That was my first and last experience with glycerin suppositories until I was in college!
