After spinal surgery, I have been mostly housebound for 10 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.
Thanks for being kind about this.

gave what I could, wish it was more. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Thinking of Los Angeles.
Thinking of you. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. Greetings from Faisalabad.
Rooting for you. Your post was clear and honest. Greetings from Santa Rosa.
Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. I hope December is when things finally get easier. All the best
Wishing you peace, Josefa. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like.
Stay strong, Josefa. Hope you get there. Don't give up. Love from La Plata.
