All that...and you still did not get to keep the tooth brush!!! A little boiling and it would have been good as new...ready for use...

I for one am glad this had a happy ending. You used a combination of high and low tech to acheive your desired result. It proves that you are tenacious if nothing else!
On the subject of using it again I suggest a new one... I use old tooth brushes to clean golf clubs, auto parts... and anything that needs a soft non-scratch type of approach.
The tooth brush is overlooked by many who use one daily, not to mention those who only use one .....every once in a while.
Let the three tooth minimum jokes begin.

For the amount of time and effort I wish you had taken some pictures and posted them. While I think I can imagine most of the postions you were in while extracting the toothbrush a photo or 2 would have been great. The light and the mirror down the toilet would have become a classic.
You are a brave person sharing this experience on the Forum. I'll bet when you show at rallies people feel that they already know you. Oh sure, they may not shake hands, but they'll be friendly otherwise.
I need to ask - have you quit chewing your nails because of this? I suspect brown would be the ideal nail polish color now?
Can you imagine what your neighbors were thinking watching you? "Hey Mabel, there she is AGAIN with her arm stuffed up the toilet tank. That Becky needs a hobby real bad, and look, she's training her daughter. By the way, the next time she brings baking over maybe pass it on to your mother."
I'd of been tempted to mail the brush back to the PO and a month later "remember" to tell them where you found it .
