A redneck moves from the trailerhood to the suburbs for a little patch of dirt to call home and set up an as much as possible self sufficient lifestyle. Some things will go better than planned, others worse. Hopefully, most will at best be somewhere in between.

$942 Man
I was talking to my friend, Gail the other day and she made a joke about me having a bionic eye like the $6 Million Man. I know a lot of you aren't old enough to remember that old show on TV . It was about a test pilot who crashed and was rebuilt with an artificial leg, arm and eye so he had superhuman powers.
Anyway, she was making a joke about my new, plastic eyeball lens. It is almost like having super vision after seeing the world as I have.
Getting my right eye fixed cost me out of pocket $942 and change so I told her after second repair I'll be the the $1884 Man.
I had no fear going in or surgery on my worst cataract. I had no fear when the Doctor jabbed the lancet into my eye to relieve pressure. Do I have any worries going into surgery for my other eye? Hell no!
Crazy Mike at work tells me his daughter, Emily just has bad eyes and may need Lasik or other to fix her eyes. I tell y'all what. If she has any fears or such about eye surgery, I'll step up and promise her and Crazy Mike that I'll be there for them. I'll hold her hand as long as they let me before she goes in and I'll be holding her hand when she wakes up.
