After spinal surgery, I have been mostly housebound for 4 weeks. My family live far away, and the days can feel very long. I'm not looking for therapy - I've that covered - but for conversation.
I'm hoping for someone who can call for about 30 minutes once a week whenever suits us both. I like music, books and gardening, and can listen to anything.
This can be from anywhere in the world as long as you speak English. We can arrange the calls through the platform, with email shared only when we're both comfortable.
Thanks for even thinking about it.
Thank you so much.

Sending good thoughts, José. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. God bless
I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Thinking of Buenos Aires.
Wishing you the best, José. Hope the doctors have good news. Take care.
Sending strength, José. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. Love from Leeds.
so sorry you're going through this. Wishing José a smooth procedure and a full recovery.
best of luck, José. I hope things turn around soon. Greetings from Aurangabad.
