When you are sick, is it normal for girlfriends to be over-bearing?

I just got over being sick. My girlfriend was taking care of me the entire time which was very helpful. She did great job making sure I drank water as well as taking meds. This is something I tend to neglect when caring for myself. However, there are some things that made me feel a tad embarrassed.. she was keeping track of bodily functions when I went to the bathroom. This was understandable but invasive. The thing I found even more weird was she took my temperature "back there" after I got out of the shower. When asked about it she said its more accurate to do it that way. She also revealed that she was doing it that way while I was asleep so she could check on me without waking me. I'm somewhat weirded out because it feels invasive. However, I am not surprised as this is totally something she would do. Even if i have a paper cut, she is the type to rush to treat it before I can complain.
