Cells are in

I had the injection of Lymphocytes this morning. They required that I have a whack of premeds...Hydrocortosone and Phenurgen and panadol, in case I had a reaction . All that happened is I got high and drowsy and stupid. Then they brought the cells in an no reaction on the visible scale.

I wonder if the Donor Bro was disappointed. He might have been hoping for the little cells taking on the Fibrosis cells in an epic battle of turf wars... where the battle ground gets torn up and I twist and turn and flip over from the action going on inside.

Maybe I should read less epic Scifi?

Anyway we just went out for the Donor Bro's pick of Korean for our last supper together this trip.  He wants to play down the 'hero for doing this... chit chat' but does want other people to know that it is relatively easy to make this donation and to make a stem cell donation and that many others should be on the register to donate.

We got interviewed for the Brisbane Courier - Mail in the Parallel Lives section (weekend?) and they sent out a photographer this morning. All the nurses were walking by wondering who the celebrities were. We didn't have the heart to say 'nobodies'. Anyway it looks like it is going in the Sunday Mail newspaper Bluey has found out on the inter web.

What this guy beside me is doing looks good so ...

We travel home to the red dog and the gardener tomorrow and more work under the house.
more later
Goodnight
Chris
