If I could go back in time, it would have to be to a time when my Mother finally listened to my pleas and against her doctor's orders decided to give me a real bag enema. I think I was around the age of eleven when this event happened in my life. I had been given hundreds of small bulb enemas during my earlier life due a problem with my intestines. The family's doctor at that time truly believed in the benefits of enemas. But, he got sick and had to stop his practice. The new family doctor, literally, did not believe in them and told Mom, in front of me, to stop giving me those things. He had her begin to give me oral laxatives which really tore my stomach up. I hated the taste and specifically the cramps the laxatives gave me. I also missed Mom's touch and tender loving care she gave me when giving me my enemas. One day, a neighbor girl asked me why Mom called me into the house. I told her and she said "yuk! my Mom doesn't give me that, instead she gives me enemas." I told her that my Mom used to do that too, but our doctor told her to stop." The girl then told me that her Mom had given her an adult enema that morning and that it wasn't bad, in fact, she said it felt rather good. The next morning, I found Mother sitting in the kitchen drinking coffee and smoking one of her Salem cigarettes. I sat down next to her, took her hand in mind, and when she turned towards me, I asked her if she would give me an adult enema. She looked at me like I had some kind of screw loose and then replied "Mike, you know what our new doctor says about enemas." I teared up and said "Mom, you know I don't like the laxatives." Mom shook her head and said "I'm sorry Mike...." I did not give up and asked her for an adult enema every time she gave me my dose of laxative. But, I couldn't budge her. Finally, I decided to enlist her Mom, my grandmother, for help, by riding my bike over to her house. Mam-Maw listened to my plea and she asked me if I was absolutely sure that I wanted one of those things. I, of course, told her "yes!" Mam-Maw told "ok, but that it might not be what I think it will be....and that I should be real careful when you ask for something...." I told her "Mam-Maw, please!" She hugged my neck and told me that she would talk with my Mom for me. I gave her a kiss and rode my bike back to my house. About 30 minutes after I got back home our phone rang. I answered it. Mam-Maw was on the other line. She said "ok, Mike, can I speak with your Mom." I said "sure, just a minute." Mom came to the phone and a minute or so later she came into the tv room and said that she was going over to Mam-Maw's house for a little while. I asked if I could go and she said ok...so Mom and me went back to Mam-Maw's. I think my being there surprised Mam-Maw, but in we went. I went to Mam-Maw's living room and turned on the tv. Mom and Mam-Maw went into her kitchen. I snuck up to the kitchen door so I could hear what was being said. Mam-Maw didn't waste a word. She told Mom that I had come by her house earlier in the afternoon and asked for her help in getting you to give him an adult enema instead of the laxatives that the doctor has prescribed. I then heard Mom speak telling her Mom "Mama, that is all I have been hearing for I know 2 months now. Is he crazy to want one? Our doctor is totally against those things! and Mama, if I did decide to, I don't even have an enema bag in the house. I know, he hates the oral laxatives. I have tried Castoria, Ex-Lax, and several others and he cries when I make him take them. It hurts my soul." I heard a chair move and then I heard Mam-Maw speak...."Mary, I didn't think you had a syringe in your house, so after he left, I went downtown to the Rexall drug store and got you this." Mom spoke up "Mom, should I go against our doctor's orders and give him one?" Mam-Maw replied "Mary, it wouldn't hurt.... you know you have given him enemas for I know most of his first 7 or so years and to my knowledge they haven't hurt him." Mother spoke up saying...."Mom, I am so glad you are my Mom...you always give me sound advise." I then heard chairs moving so I rushed back to the chair in front of the tv. I got there just in time because the kitchen door opened and out came Mom and Mam-Maw. Mom was carrying a brown sack with a red, black, and orange box was sticking out of it. Mom said "ok, Mike, let's go...." Mam-Maw looked over at me and gave me a thumbs up. I went over and hugged her neck and told her "Mam-Maw, thank you...I love you so much." She pecked me on my cheek and Mom and me went back home. I expected her to give me an adult enema that day, but she didn't. Weeks passed... and no adult enema came my way. Oral laxatives continued to be the drug of choice. One day, while Mom was out, I found the box Mam-Maw had bought. I opened it and touched the orange bottle and hose. I had butterflies flying all through my stomach. She had what she needed, but what was she waiting for? Well, a couple of weeks later, on a Saturday morning, Mom woke me up by rubbing me on my neck. When I was awake, Mom took my hand, pulled me from the bed and took me into my bathroom, where I saw the red, black and orange box open on top of the washing machine that was in my bathroom. It was empty. I looked around the room and saw hanging on the wall above the toilet the orange hot water bottle, full of water. The orange hose was hanging below it. It had a silver clip on it and a black nozzle on its end. Mom was standing in between me and the syringe. She was smiling at me. I went over to her and hugged her neck, kissed her cheek and told her "thank you." Mom replied "well, son, I have tossed and turned over this for quiet a while. I hope it is all that you have hoped it will be." I slipped off my undies and Mother motioned for me to lean over the toilet. I did. Mom stepped over and pulled on my left bootie cheek. Then, she smeared some Vaseline on my little rose bud and gently inserted the black nozzle. I was in heaven. Mom let out a breathe, and asked "well, son, are you ready for your adult enema?" I told her "Mom, I love you." With that said, Mom opened the tube's shut-off and my first adult enema began. It felt wonderful and I told Mom that.... So, if I could return to an earlier time in my life where memories still linger, my first adult enema from Mom would be the time. Thanks, Mam-Maw.....
