I finally broke down and saw the doctor last week about the weird swelling in my legs. Good thing I did too.

Turns out my legs haven't been truly injured (more annoyed, really). However, I *was* really dehydrated. Apparently, the body does weird things when dehydrated, like conserving liquid that's suppose to be flushed and pooling them in the legs. The redness was a secondary skin infection that was trying really hard to set in.

Um, yeah. Not good. Very bad. But easily correctable. After checking to make sure my kidneys were working fine (which they are), I left the Doctor's office with the best prescription I've ever had. Drink more water till you piss clear once a day and eat an Orange and Banana a day. I can so deal with that. Yes, she gave me a slip to turn in for some antibiotics in case the redness does not subside, but that's just in case, not go fill this now kind of thing.

So while it hasn't fully gone away yet, I'm making improvements every day. Hopefully, next week I can get back to exercising and try and shed this +40 pounds I've gained in the past 4+ months.

Here's hoping.
