Hi again! I thought I should give another update for those who are interested.

I'm now living at my mom's house. We do the best we can. The problems with my insurance have been straightened out. I was not able to get an extension on my COBRA coverage so I have had to purchase individual insurance. My fiance was called back to work although he doesn't have as many hours or as much responsibility as he had before. My fiance's ex-wife has gotten a job! Mericals do happen!

My health...
My doctor has stated that I am in remission but that I need to continue the Metheltrexate injections for the next 2 years. I can go up and down steps without holding onto a railing and am able to walk up to 8 blocks although it tires me out. I'm recovering fairly well. My goal now is to rebuild my strength and stamina. I've gained a lot of weight. It's mostly fat. I wish I could blaim the steriods but it's really from binge eating. I've been very depressed.

My job and finances...
The job is not as good as it was originally but I have more clients and the hours have picked up. I am on social security disability but I'm hoping I'll be recovered enough to get a regular full time job in a couple months. I'm having trouble paying all my medical bills. Just when I think I'm comming out of it more bills pile up.

Romantic Life...
It looks like that's over. I have always wanted children. My fiance had 2 children and doesn't want anymore. He and I broke up for 2 weeks over this issue about 4 years ago. We got back togeather because he said he was just scared things would turn out like they did with his ex-wife. He said he was willing to try. He changed his mind again. He doesn't want kids. When he thinks about it he feels "mind numbning fear." He hinted about it ever since he lost his job. Eventually I had to confront him. After a lot of back and forth we've decided to take a step back. We are no longer engaged but we still talk to eachother like we are dating. Maybe that's a mistake. Our relationship can't grow. There is no future...It doesn't help that all my stuff is stuck in MI with him. I don't have the funds to get my stuff and bring it back.

Anyway, that's the latest!
