No Matter What She Tells You...

She's not dying.

My mother was diagnosed with Chronic Obstructive pulmonary Disorder. Or in normal terms Chronic Bronchitis. She's going on about how she has this terrible disease. And she must use the whole term in stead of saying Chronic Bronchitis, people will tend to throw more sympathy her way if she says Chronic Obstructive pulmonary Disorder. When I mentioned to her that it was ok to just say Bronchitis, she informed me that this might kill her, ya know.

Oh puh-lease.
