I was walking in the street under a tree trying to catch the bus. Suddenly it was windy and something fell in my eye. I was even wearing my sunglasses. My eye was painful and I could not open it. When I got to the department store, I went to the bathroom and washed it but It that did not help. I went to K-mart and told the pharmacist about it. He showed me an eye wash. I bought it and used it but it did not help. I went to the pharmacist again and asked about a close clinic. He gave me directions. I went and the Dr checked it and took something very small that was causing the irritation out. He put eye drops and gave me some to use for 3 days. He said my eye was scratched and it takes few days to heal. Today I woke up with a headache and it was a little sore. I took a panadol. I was lucky the clinic was close to where I was going and I did not need an appointment. Thank God it was not more serious. When I wrote the e-mail yesterday it was after I got back from the clinic. Looking at the computer screen strained my eye. You don’t have to worry about me, really. I’m not alone. God is with me and he will protect me and help me. When I got back to the hotel, the Bosnian lady and her husband were already at the hotel. They came to check on me because they were worried about me. I was supposed to go see Mirsada at the department store but I did not as I was at the clinic. You see. That’s from God, not from me. Of course, I saw Mirsada at the store this morning.

Yesterday, I met an American girl at the coffee shop at the mall. She was born in Dhahran and her father worked in ARAMCO for 20 years. When I told her I was from SA she screamed ‘My God" and she almost cried. I gave her my business card.
