Ep. 012 Dayne McGary

Dayne McGary joins Xavier to tell the story of his 4 year injury battle. In 2015 after playing football, an inconspicuous back injury presented itself, to be diagnosed as a bulging disk. What was originally given a 2 week recovery timeline, evolved into major back surgery, interstate travel, countless treatment plans and a 4 year battle to simply be able to walk freely. 

Equally important matters are also discussed such as a phobia of stingrays, list of University attempts, new hobbies, and how one man can have seen so little movies.
