Finding the donor

Finding the donor wasn't easy. I have an odd pair-up between the A & B markers that they think may have occurred in the womb (guess mom rode too many roller costers) so the best they could find was a 9/10 with a full antigen mismatch at A. Should be interesting. Took about 4-5 months on the NMDP list to find him.

If it's the one I think, all I know now is it is a gentleman in his 30's in the U.S. I do not know if he met my personal requirement -- a full head of hair.

But then, at this point, I think I'd take a well tamed chimpanzee.

Tentative schedule has me reporting for lockup on August 28, a week of prep and conditioning, and cells on Labor day or so? I can't even go out of town on my holiday. Sheesh!
