When was the last time getting a rectal temperature?

Felt horrible last few days and she took my rectal temperature earlier before she went to work and it was 101.2 and that is why I haven't been on lately as I've felt so bad and still do:-(

Today for me was running a 100.6 fever

I presently own over twenty glass rectal thermometers

99.4 took by my girlfriend who used her trusty digital rectal thermometer probe

Well, after reading this thread, right now, hold on, I'm using the Vicks, feels good, but only takes 8 seconds

Beep, beep, beep,

Ok, that was quick, hold on, it's 100.2, hmm, better get out the old mercury thermometer, takes longer, but feels so much better, one minute please, well actually 3

....................................................... ah, better go 5 minutes to be sure

........................................................, ok, that's better, lets see now....... I thought so, It's only 99.9. although with the discrepancy, I'd probably better have an enema, just to be sure :-P

It’s been about a month since I took my temperature last, so I’m about to use my glass thermometer to do so. Perhaps I’ll post photos.

We have a lovely huge candy thermometer that my partner uses on me. It gets me dripping every time. I had it last night.

Last night, first time in awhile. Played out a scenario with the partner.

It was a glass geratherm thermometer, the "interchangeable" kind with a green tip. She took my temperature because I'd been out in the snow shoveling the way earlier, and she decided it would be a good idea just to make sure I hadn't brought the chill in with me. I ended up having a temperature of 100, which was just enough to give the play a bit of weight.

One week ago.

3 hours ago and was 100.2

@Roddy_Rick You probably have more rectal thermometers than the local hospital.

@buffalo,

I enjoy your reports on your temperature takings. I suppose it was your affectionate girlfriend; who took it. Did she consider 100;2 to be a fever and did she do something about it ?

Thanks Svensson, nothing crazy and just actually made me some Chicken Noodle Soup and was in a very good mood yesterday.

For tonight she took it and it was 99.4 so guess the Soup did it:-)

Had a rectal thermometer in me yesterday. Unfortunately it was digital and the play doc didn’t use lube ?

Earlier this evening. I've got a miserable head cold and have been shaking with chills. My husband came home and found me curled up in bed and took my rectal temperature (100.2). He then

microwaved a heating wrap and put it around my feet and made dinner. I'll never give up this guy, even after 34 years.

Tonight after work she took it and it was 99.2 before I took a shower and the worst part was I backtalked her the other day and forgot about it and oh no she took my temp then gave me 20 with the leather belt and 20 with the dragon cane and then too the shower I went...pretty sore backside I have but I deserved it and hope I learned from this!

I took my rectal temperature right before lunch. I laid over an office chair with my underwear to my knees and I lubricanted the thermometer and when I inserted the ice cold thermometer into the center of my rectum, it felt so good and relaxing. I have the feeling that if a nurse did that, it would have even felt better. 5 minutes later when I removed the thermometer, the reading was 98.7.

About 2 weeks ago, it was a glass Geratherm thermometer.

I had on those in my rear end this morning and the reading was 98

I took my rectal temperature before lunch and I was on line looking at a video of a woman getting her temperature taking rectally and right before the end of the video, my 5 minutes ran out so I left the thermometer in place until the video ended and I removed it and the reading was 98.6. Then I felt wetness.

This morning because i felt a little bit cold.

Thursday evening past. I wasn't feeling well and frankly felt like crud. A friend was with me and home. She took the initiative, knowing I prefer rectal, (nothing sexual guys, chill out!) so she took my temp. Standard, glass/mercurial BD, yellow highlighted.

This morning and she took it with her trusty digital rectal probe thermometer and it was 99.2

Just now. The reading is 98.6.

I am getting one right now

I felt overtired on Friday evening. In fact I came home early, got into some lounge jams and was lying on top of the bed watching TV when my husband came home. I've been fighting off a stuffy head cold and felt a little warm but nothing dramatic. Rob admits being overprotective. I'm pretty independent and can take care of myself, but I love this endearing quality that he has. So when he sat down on the bed and I saw a small tube of Vaseline, without saying anything I rolled on my left side and slipped down my jams. We thought about dinner while the thermometer was doing its task. Just a hair over 100 which is not much if any of a temp. Those few moments of TLC between my husband and me are golden in our marriage. And they motivated me to get off the bed, put on my slippers and we prepared a fresh salmon dinner together, our favorite, with a little wine and cuddling later. So, what began as me feeling wiped out when I got home, turned into a really nice evening. How blessed I am to have such a wonderful husband and our two daughters.

I took my rectal temperature this morning around high noon as it was 98.4 and I was laid over and office while waiting for the reading.

A fee weeks ago.

Just for pleasure. 😃

Glass thermometer and generous bulb of lubricant.

Vicki V. Nice post re: husband. My wife is much the same way. We are lucky folks.

Last night after my shower...99.4 with her trusty digital probe thermometer!
