Hello All… My name is Daniel Nagy, and over the years, I have sustained a multitude of injuries. Some were some what minor, four instance my nose has been broken on five separate occasions, the first time was when I was in high school, when a drunken kid mistakenly thought I was someone else, and he sucker punched me without any provocation. Followed by me returning the favor… and then some. I had an knee injury after my mother dropped her lit cigarette on the floor, where she made the mistake of trying to locate it, while still driving with me in the front passenger seat, and my three brothers were in the back seat sleeping. Since her eyes were taken off of the road, she made the choice of choosing that cigarette over the safety of everyone in the car at the time. Needless to say, she drove right into a tree, followed by me and everyone else in the vehicle all slammed forward at 50mph. Lucky for me, that my forward momentum stopped once I hit the dash of the vehicle, and my head was thrusted into the windshield. In those days the vehicle was not even equipped with seatbelts let alone airbags and other safety features at the time. The aftermath was another broken nose and a busted up knee, and a concussion. Since my three brothers in the back seat of the vehicle were asleep at the time they all slammed forward into the backs of the front seats unharmed; my mother hit the steering wheel which stopped all of her forward momentum and one of the first things she did was to look for that damn lit cigarette on the floor. And result I need to have surgery on my right knee…era 1976 and a plaster cast that covered my entire right foot and went north all the way to my crotch. Back then they really did not do regenerative physical therapy like did you these days, my broken nose I ended up resetting it myself.
Not to bore you with the Journal of my life I'm just going to touch on the highlights and the injuries that I sustained. I got involved with martial arts and scuba diving and add a very early age, by the time I was a senior in high school I had already earned my advanced open water dive card and my rescue swimmers dive card, with PADI, NAUI, and once on a dive in open water, I reinjured my knee on a dive wreck when my equipment got caught up, as I was coming to aide my dive buddy, who had sucked his tank dry. While in martial arts & kickboxing training, free sparing, open tournaments, and in amateur kickboxing bouts, I ended up rolling both ankles several times, broke multiple ribs, and had broken various bones over the years until one year later in life, while testing for my next black belt, I tore up my left knee to the point that I needed reconstructive surgery on my left knee… followed by a year of physical therapy, and an additional year just to try and strengthen my knee and try to regrow all of my muscles until it matched my right leg.
And that's when I hit a major snag, due to all of the trams my knee had to deal with, I ended up with something called Sudex Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy Syndrome (SRSDS). I didn't know it at the time, but my body was in for a rude and brave new world. And I didn't like it, one bit. And what's more, it was very difficult for me to accept the Orthopedic surgeons diagnosis, I was taking no for an answer I ended up seeing for different orthopedic surgeons all of them or tap in their field of study at the various hospitals that they were affiliated with. And while I was dealing with that, and angry bus driver decided that she did not want to wait for the traffic jam ahead of her so she tried to go around it and ended up hitting me in the drivers door of my brand-new 1996 Chevy Tahoe… The bus driver hit me with such force that she ended up turning up my left shoulder and various ligaments in my left elbow as she hit the Excelerator after she hit me, causing her front bumper to being wedged in my left front wheel well as she dragged my vehicle over 150 yards where I finally crashed into a pile of gravel… as my vehicle was laying nearly on its right side. Which meant I had to undergo more physical therapy another surgical procedure on my left shoulder and another six months of additional physical therapy and strength training for an additional year before I was back to normal. Between 1983 and 2003 I ended up getting rear ended by extremely drunk drivers while my vehicle was either stopped at a red light or totally in park with my engine off while I simply sat in the driver seat with my seatbelt line waiting for the backlog of traffic to continue to move forward. The very last drunk driver hit me and speed of over 98 miles an hour, after he impacted my part Yukon he had broken seven ribs multiple vertebrate ruptured multiple spinal disks, collapsed my right lung, gave me a severe concussion, and he came within several centimeters of me being totally paralyzed from the waist down. Needless to say I ended up having to completely different spinal surgeries to correct all the damage that the drunk drivers have done to my body over the years.
The first spinal surgery was simply a laminectomy and diskectomy procedure, which was one of the most painful surgeries I had ever experienced… And I thought my left knee surgery was painful that was a walk in the park compared to having my back sliced open, while my spinal surgeon spent over six hours trying to repair all the damage. After the recovery of the surgery, it took me nine months to heal and throughout the process I was doing physical therapy five days a week. My spinal surgeon instructed me that I would need a revision surgery in the near future after my back was able to stabilize and he'll for a while he said more less I would be back on his table within six months to a year tops before he would have to add instrumentation within my back and continue to fix the shattered vertebrae. While healing from my back surgery out of the blue with no warning whatsoever my right retina starting to detach from my right eye. I ended up needing two separate surgeries to stop my retina from completely turning away from the back of my eye. Not as bad as Ryan Job, but it was far from being good to go.
A month after the first I surgery I was at a fellow brothers funeral when my right eye right now started to detach again thank God that I was only 3 miles away from the hospital. My retina specialist scheduled me for emergency surgery the following morning. I did not want to go the way of eight sacral bubble surgery so I opted for the more advanced surgery where they literally put three holes through my right eye, sucked out all the vitreous, using a laser they filled my right eye up with nitrous oxide gas which pushed the retina back in its original place as the spot welded what was left of my right retina with over 1000 laser spot worlds to ensure that my retina would no longer detach further. The end result was that I had to lay facedown for three weeks without moving and I ended up losing half of my vision in my right eye. Shortly after that surgery I developed A cataract in my right eye which needed to be corrected immediately since I was losing my vision. After my eye surgeon gave me a brand-new lens in My eye I needed to have an additional surgery with two different cold lasers. I ended up pushing my second back surgery to the point that I was in absolute agony in on a pain scale from zero meaning no pain and 10 meaning the worst pain you've ever had dealt with in your life I was between an eight and a 10 every single day for nearly 3 years before I had my second spinal surgery because I had to work I had no choice.
Finally I could not put my back surgery off any further, and at the same time my teenage daughter became pregnant from her first sergeant while she was at boot Camp at Fort Leonard Wood. I went in to the hospital do you have my second spinal surgery where they continued to fix all of the damage, scar growth, bone spurs, and a multitude
