I'm familiar with the adjuster wheel and such, I'll try it tomorrow (Maybe), but pictures would be a great help, thanks!

Bad RR wheel cylinder.

Even worse news, I asked Midas to fix the exhaust leak and I have a broken exhaust stud.

I've already replaced the RR wheel cylinder a few months ago b/c of a stripped bleeder screw... Any other ideas?

Is it possible that my adjuster wheel is moving? When I adjust the brakes by hand or by reversing really fast and slamming on the brakes, the pedal feels really good for a few seconds, even when going forwards. Then as I use the brakes a few times, it starts to go back to mush. My RR brake is missing the plug on the back of the drum, could it be rusting the spring in place? I don't think that the stopper is catching on the adjuster wheel.
