1 piercing: A "piercing" is a hole where people display decorative jewelry. Example: I have a piercing in my ear so that I can wear earrings. The form mentions "piercings" because unsterilized equipment could transmit infections via blood.
2 kidney : A kidney is one of two organs, located in the back, that filter blood and make urine. Brian writes that he has a "kidney missing", which means one of his kidneys has been removed. Fortunately the human body can function with just one kidney!
3 headache : A "headache" describes pain or hurting in the head. Example: The music was so loud it gave me a headache. Note that this term is made up of two words: "head" + "ache". An "ache" on its own describes a painful sensation, and is a common suffix used to describe many types of pain: stomach ache, back ache, ear ache etc.
