Just before the eye condition became apparent, the following happened. Some ligaments that had been shortened in the head and neck area began to lengthen. These ligaments control arm motions, head movement, and have been in those terms largely responsible for holding Ruburt in this position, topwise.

As a result of that definite improvement, Ruburt was able to lift his head slightly as he walked. We can wait if you want....

Those ligaments had been pulled tightly. Only a small, minute alteration in any ligament or muscle affects all others. These ligaments in particular had been in the process of loosening, before Ruburt suddenly found he could thusly move his head, and look up toward the ceiling while walking.

Previous to that he had held his head, neck, shoulders, and arms, using them almost as one block, allowing those motions necessary for typing and reading, with some additional motions possible for the few chores he managed to do.

The beginning release of those ligaments affected muscles that had been thusly held, so that they also began a release. As a rule muscles do not suddenly release an inch or two, and again, the smallest alteration is important. Ruburt mentioned it to you, and noted it himself. Both of you promptly felt it to be quite insignificant. So Ruburt could lift his head an inch while walking. Each of you thought, big deal.

Ruburt’s eyes had worked quite comfortably, moving in a very limited range of motion because of the tightened neck, head and shoulder muscles and ligaments. Simply put, the eyes worked while locked into certain positions or focuses. He had noticed for some time before that he had difficulty rolling his eyes when they were closed, for example.

He started using them in ways he had not before. They were not in the old locked position, and he was beginning to enlarge his peripheral vision, which though he did not know it, had previously been limited by the head motion. The eye strain began to show. He became frightened. The tenseness from his fear would alternately relax and tighten the muscles, then.
