      I like to go to the movies rather than watch them at home. I, like many other cops, have a bit of a warped sense of humor and I am always ready for a good laugh. I like to ride my motorcycles when I am feeling well enough.

      Hi Larry, Great to hear you are keeping well. Pat is so-so, one day is good, the other lousy. Last night he was up most of the night in the bathroom so he is exhausted today. He gets tubes put in his ears tomorrow morning as he has had infection/fluid since December. Keep well. Hugs, Wendy

      Hello, just wanted to say hi and glad you're feeling better. I dont have your illness but have a friend who does. We have a med in common Humria. I have Rhuematoid Arthritis and I also work for a PD, Minneapolis CID. Hope things keep going good for you. I know how intrusive it can be when you're in a flare. Take care Kris

      Thanks for the comment.A week after my first infusion I suffered from severe headaches, my PCP thought it was the remicade. Percocet couldn't take the pain away, I had to get a shot of todarol. I had my second infusion yesterday and so far very light headaches. So will see what happens next
