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.
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

Hang in there. This could happen to any of us. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day.
Shared this with my family. I'm in nursing myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. All the best.
take care, Janhavi. Shared this with my family. My sister had a similar thing happen so this one hit home.
It takes guts to ask. Well done. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Thinking of Nagpur.
I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Thinking of Nagpur

Hope this works out for you. I hope April is when things finally get easier

So sorry you're going through this, Janhavi. I hope things turn around soon. I have a 13 year old who wants to send good wishes too. God bless!

Get well soon. Love from Comilla.
