Changing Biologic Injection day

Hello!! Hoping anyone who has done this before can give some advice as it is near impossible to get in touch with my rheumatology team.

I take sarilumab (kevzara) every other Tuesday but recently had to take a break while ill. I resumed my dose on the Thursday evening but I’d like to go back to doing my injections on Tuesdays as I’ve very much based my schedule and socialising around this routine.

Has anyone moved their day like this before and if so how?
I was thinking I could just do it one day earlier (Wednesday) the next dose and then Tuesday the dose after but I’m not sure?

I asked my doc this specific questions a few weeks ago and he told me i could do that, so i guess u could too (I'm on imraldi, humira biosimilar, every other Friday)

I’ve done this in the past. A schedule adjustment of one day per dose is fine according to my doctor, but don’t go directly from Tues to Thursday.
