Infusion options

Curious if anyone gets infusions after normal business hours or on the weekend. I got a new job that is very busy and don’t want them thinking I’m an employee with a disability that takes off all the time. I know I’m protected by ADA but rather them not know until they need to. Thanks!

Didn't get a rash or hives this time, but only got really sleepy. Got it done much faster than last time and I watched the Mask of Zorro, great action. Next one comes in Sept.
