Hmmm . . . are you trying to say "I have only just left Chicago"? {neH}, when
following a verb, trivializes that verb. You said "I have merely left
Chicago." (Hmmm . . . now that we know about the MSN words, I wonder if {mej}
is allowed to take an object . . . !)
Better to simply state when it was that you left Chicago:
wa'maH Hu' *Chicago*-vo' jImej.
(Or whenever.)

Perhaps a better way to say this would be
bIvumtaHvIS nuq Data'?
