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 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.
I hope life is good to you.

So sorry you're going through this. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Greetings from Istanbul!
wishing you peace, Jessica. Hope you get there. My father had a similar thing happen so this one hit home.
Keep going. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. God bless.
So sorry you're going through this, Jessica. Hope this works out for you. Thinking of Freiburg.
Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. After 9 years in public service I know how hard it's to ask for anything.
