This is Dilek and me before my surgery.
When I told my students about my surgery, their faces went blank. "You had the surgery here. . .in Lebanon?. . .Why? You go to the hospital here if you want to die."
"Miss, you can't trust the doctors here. Right now your eye is fine, but just wait, in a month or two it will explode. We can see it getting bigger. . . It's like in the souk--they put the good tomatoes on top to cover the rotten ones."
This was on Tuesday, after I had my first eye done. They told me not to go back the next day for the left eye. "Just have one good eye and one bad eye. Don't risk it, Miss."
Aren't 8th graders cute?
