In 2005, some 17 years after the accident, Ron began often having double vision. He went to an ophthalmologist, who informed him that he had 20/15 vision, explaining that his eyes were better than normal. Having no explanation for the double vision, he sent Ron for an MRI.
After the MRI was complete, the tech and Ron were looking at the results, and the tech turned to Ron with a stunned look on his face and asked if he’d ever had a head injury. Ron told him, “Yes, some years ago. Why?” The tech pointed to a black spot on his X-ray and replied, “Nothing.” Ron said, “Nothing? Man, it looks like something!” The tech said, “That’s what I’m telling you, it’s nothing there, because it’s nothing there!”
Ron asked, “Nothing? Like no brain?” The tech nodded, still looking at Ron with that stunned look. Ron asked him what that part of the brain controlled, and the tech told him “Motoring skills.” Ron asked, “Like moving, walking, running, jumping?” The tech nodded, looking Ron straight in the eye in disbelief, and said “Yes.” Ron was silent for a long moment, then he got tickled and began to laugh. He said, “Well, now! This is kind of crazy! I move around pretty good, and I don’t even have the brains to do it!” The tech almost smiled, but his stunned astonishment kept him from it.
