Hello all....well, I survived my Remicade infusion! LOL! Thank God everything went well. It took a total of about 2 1/2 hours. The nurse who administered the Remicade was a doll. There was only one other person having an infusion in there with me. He was a Crohn's patient, very young man, about 23 yrs old. I go for my second infusion on the 30th.

Going to go lie down for a bit, I feel a little groggy, probably from the Benedryl.

Thank you all so much for your kind thoughts and prayers.
