Bone marrow donation complete. I am apparently a model patient as far as having a metric fuckton of free white blood cells and whatnot to harvest, good veins, and enough bedside sass to keep the nursing staff entertained.
It is, in a word, boring as fuck. You spend about six hours or so unable to do a goddamn thing because of the needles. The book pictured was only functioning as a small lap pillow, because I couldn't even hold it or turn pages.
there will be a 'cool details' followup to come, once i've eaten and slept. the thing that's most notable to me at the moment is that they basically drew off and returned about the equivalent of 4x the blood in my entire body over the course of the day (22.015 liters)
