Abundant harvest

Stem cell harvest complete! 15 million harvested and I only needed 2 million. Considering how hard it was to get them — from chemo, to harsh drugs, to a painful pickline neck catheter — it's too bad I can't donate or sell the extra. Though they'll help me kick MS ass in January, these cells are quite useless to anyone else. Doc said not even close family members can use them, with the exception of identical twins.

Abundant harvest is not a given. A gentleman two doors down from me went through the same procedure, but did not make the minimum. He has to try again tomorrow while I get to head home.  A tiny woman across the hall got 8 million on her first try. You just never know.
