After a broken pelvis, I have been mostly housebound for 8 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 film, travel stories and poetry, 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 for reading my story.

Thinking of you and your family. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Take care.
So sorry you're going through this. Shared it with a few friends. Thinking of Epe.
