After a long hospital stay, I have been mostly housebound for 3 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 history, chess and quiz shows, 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.
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

Hope things get better soon, Abigail. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. God bless.
Hope the doctors have good news. My brother had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Thinking of Oakland.
Sending love, Abigail. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier.
Praying for you. Shared it with a few friends. I hope June is when things finally get easier. Take care
Best of luck, Abigail. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. Blessings
