Remicade - Day 148

Today was infusion day ( a week early) and I literally had to travel in a snow storm to get it done.  But done I did.  I needed this one as I started to develop an abscess a couple of days ago....not good.
So, hopefully, this dose will take care of it.  I might have to get either a higher dose of get it more frequent.
We'll see......
