Word for the Day: Friday, April 24, 2015

The Word for Today (Friday) is Aspiration. As I threatened yesterday, I first want to point out special "health related" definitions for Aspiration. For example, there's "Pulmonary Aspiration" which, quite simply is a technical way of describing the painful, as well as embarrassing process of "inhaling your food". And then, in a hospital setting, a doctor may "aspirate fluid" from somewhere in your body (which occurred to me, in 1982, when I suffered from Pneumothorax. Trust me, when I tell you that you probably do NOT want to experience Chest Tubes, anytime in your life).

All that said, I prefer the meaning, where I aspire to be the healthiest, that I can.
