Crazy legs

Alright, since a few of you have been asking about how my legs were doing I figured I should write an official update for everyone. A couple weeks ago I was having some really bad pains in my legs. So bad that I just wanted to cry and couldn't walk too much. I finally went into the doctor and he guessed I had a viral infection that had spread into my leg muscles. He did a bunch of blood tests just to make sure and those just came back ok. They confirmed that there was an infection. They put me on some drugs which have been helping a ton. My legs still hurt a little but not nearly as much. About a month ago I had similar pains in one leg that only lasted for the evening but they are not sure if they are related. The doctor doesn't think it is anything to worry about at all but there is always that small chance of it being something. If it doesn't get 100% better or if I have any problems again he wants me to possibly get tested for MS (Multiple Sclerosis). It is a very remote thing but it can start out like this. I am totally not try to freak anyone out, I am not worried at all. I think doctors just say things like that to freak you out sometimes, but I am still going to pay attention to make sure everything heals and junk.

I am happy to hear that you are doing better. I hope that it will not be anything serious. We are still planning on coming up but I cannot tell you for sure because Hyrum just got an internship and we are not sure if he is going to have to work during spring break. But we will find out soon so I will let you know! Love you!

Hi Lindsey, I've never met you but I was friends with Dave in San Marcos for a long time. We grew up in the same home ward, so I was friends with him and Hyrum and all those guys. I love the family picture of you guys at the top of your blog! I'm glad to hear you're all doing well.

Oh girl you're fine! Dr's always say things to freak people out. But like you said just pay attention to your body.
