Good Job on getting and keeping a job for insurance to kick in! I too agree, that having insurance will help secure probably a better doctor so you can get the treatment needed.
I too have had problems keeping jobs steadily...but it seems that you are doing the right thing being self sufficent and getting an apartment and doing that without a car

1 question though....what do you mean the apt doesnt have a bathroom?? Arent all apartments required to?
