955. Done!

Full story to come, but briefly—all done! Intense and exhausting (even though I just sat in a comfy chair for many hours each day and listened to the big chugging machine give my blood the best exercise it ever had), but not hard at all. I experienced no side effects, and they were able to harvest even more cells than needed. (See below, the bag on the far right, about 2 hours into the process on day 1.)

A longer description to come soon. Hoping everyone had a joyous Simhat Torah filled with dancing, singing, and all sorts of new beginnings.
