Collection is finished!

All done with collection and should be discharged today!

Yesterday I collected 17.1 million cells in the 2 hours they had me hooked up. So today they ran me for another hour and half. I should end up with way more than the 20 million they wanted.

Now I'm waiting for some platelets so I can get my line out.  The collection process depletes platelets and I need a certain level so I'll be sure to clot properly when they take the line out. After that I'll head over to get the line out, then to the clinic to be discharged!
