Golden Harvest Production

Location: Blood bank, Hospital, Pune
It had been only a few minutes since the contraption had started a dialogue with my body through an assemblage of tubes, when Surbhi excitedly pointed to the TV which had just started showing a new movie. By sheer coincidence, and quite sensationally, it announced that movie was a "Golden Harvest Production". That was how we wished the harvesting would turn out to be and that is what the clairvoyant TV announced.
In these two days 30 litres of blood was processed, out of which 570 ml of WBC goodness was extracted. On the first day 68% of the extracted WBCs were stem cells, which is a respectable count. Day two stem cells percentage is still not known. Be that as it may doctors are very happy with the results.
Next week I will be making a trip to hospital to get my central line installed again. I will get admitted for transplant on Saturday. So stay tuned.

    Well, thats one place where the harvest is good. Cant say about much about the crops right now with the delayed monsoon. :) Keep up the good spirit (the one in hospital? Or have we taken to the bottle?;)) and we all and our prayers are with you! Lots of Love!
