I had my 17th infusion on Friday, 2/1.  It was my first since getting a power port placed (surgically) in my right chest.  I must say, my infusion was able to start sooner since my infusion nurse could just access the port instead of searching for a vein in my arm or hand.
Piece of Tysabri trivia.  My nurse said that the Maxine Messinger MS infusion center in Houston where I go is among the busiest in the U.S.  I think she said she has 89 Tysabri patients.
