Kickass, the doorstop dog, reports that the keeper not only survived a long day with the VA eye clinic and the VA emergency unit’s MRI machine, but also gained surprising proof that he actually has a brain, and there appears to be nothing significantly wrong with it to cause the keeper’s sudden onset of double vision. The banging, clanging, buzzing MRI device seemed like something straight out of The Land of Oz offering treatment to the brainless scarecrow, and it did not offer any guidance on how the brain should be used for more productive thought, something the keeper might need even more so than the scarecrow.
Double vision is not uncommon with those who, like the keeper, are dealing with macular degeneration. It often corrects itself over time, an optic device can be installed on glasses to eliminate its effect and in the meantime the keeper will be wearing a patch over one eye made for him by one of the two Phyllis’s he woke up with and one of which said it is enough for him to see just one of her.
