A weekly phone friend for Anthony, recovering at home after spinal surgery
No advice needed - just a kind ear and some conversation for 30 minutes a week.

After spinal surgery, I have been mostly housebound for 5 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.
Glad we found this place.

Thinking of you and your family. Shared this with my family. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Thinking of Los Angeles.
best of luck. Wishing Anthony a smooth procedure and a full recovery. Take care.
Keep going, Anthony. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. Thinking of Los Angeles.
Wishing you the best, Anthony. I hope things turn around soon.
Shared it with a few friends. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Love from Newcastle.
