If Rita could just delegate all her (present and future) illnesses and medical conditions to other people, she wouldn’t need any steenkin’ tests.
Meanwhile…. in answer to yesterday’s queries….from the Wikipedia entry on Working Daze….
“Elena Belloff, a professional hypnotist hired by Rita to motivate the staff. This character is based on a real hypnotist of the same name, and was added to the strip as part of a contest.”
When I was doing the prep for my first colonoscopy, I was house sitting for my parents and the toilet decided to back up just before things started kicking into gear. Made for interesting times.
Of course I always go to the worst case scenario and think they are going to find something very nasty. Last time I actually didn’t want the drugs so I could be wide awake to make a decision.
Check out this Jeff Foxworthy video on getting a colonoscopy. Hilarious. I have seen two slightly different versions. www.youtube.com/watch?v=CEp9oi1LVXw
As a mark of how serious this is, allow me to note that I brought back the Kyle Miller ‘Rita glare’ just for this occasion. It seemed like the rich expression.
I have been putting mine off, as far as I know I have no problems, but I know that doesn’t mean “Jack Squat”, just afraid of the prep, afraid of being put “under” to have it done, etc, etc.

The prep is definitely worse than the exam.

I’m with you, Rita. That was yucky (sophisticated term).

It just narks Rita that she’s always been the one who’s sticking it to other people.

Had one 2 weeks ago. If you get a prep with lemon packet. DO NOT USE. The lemon makes it worse!

This is eerily strange that this strip appears on the same day I get my once-every-ten-years colonoscopy. Are you guys hacking into my calendar? :-P

The doc gave me a clean bill of health on mine and said, I’ll see you in ten years". I replied, “Don’t hold your breath, doc!”.
