Amy has been officially diagnosed with Chiari Malformation, which means part of the back of her brain dips into the hole where the spinal column enters the skull. This causes many of the same symptoms as Fibromyalgia with the addition of dizziness and lack of balance. Her balance has been really out of whack lately and she's been unable to work. She can't support herself right now, so she is moving back in with her parents in Colorado... which really sucks.
I don't want to get too sappy here, but I've grown quite fond of Amy, especially over the last few months. She's been wonderful through all the changes that have been happening, and we just starting to settle into our new life together. I'm really going to miss her when she leaves.
That's why I am also going to move to Colorado. I'm not sure when or exactly how right now, but I will be joining her as soon as I can. It's not just for her that I'm moving either. I feel like I've been in Florida too long. I want to travel and I never intended to live in one place all my life. I'm looking forward to moving.
The whole thing is both scary and exciting. Amy's leaving in July and I will miss her between that time and the time in which I finally move. There are so many things I don't know how to handle. How do I maintain a long distance relationship? Can I sell my house? Can I rent it out? If I rent it out should I let my last remaining roommate handle the management of the house or hire a professional company to do so? Should I try to find a job in Colorado before I move, or should I move and then find a job?
If you think you have any answers, please let me know with a reply.
