De-Gen-Er-A-Tive

I hate $10 college words. It seems the older I get, the more $10 college words I have to learn. This word, I'm not particularly fond of. Degenerative.

So when the DOC himself calls and uses the word degenerative is that good or bad? When my stomach flip-flopped I took it as a bad sign!. He told me my hip looked pretty rough, in fact degenerative with a lot of rips and tears. So off to the Orthopedist and who knows what.

Then...he said there is a problem with the lining of my uterus. It is 2 mm thick and should be 1 mm thick so I 'get' to have a D&C. Awww c'mon what's 1 mm amongst friends? Can you say FALLING APART!

I need a sedative!
