After a stroke, 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 podcasts, football and cooking, 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.

Keep going, José. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. Please keep us posted. Thinking of San Diego.
best of luck, José. Your post was clear and honest. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Blessings.
Best of luck, José. Shared this with my family. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Thinking of San Diego.
Wishing José a smooth procedure and a full recovery
Rooting for you, José. I hope things turn around soon. God bless.
