After spinal surgery, I have been mostly housebound for 6 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.

Good luck, Laxman. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. After 29 years in public service I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Thinking of Lalitpur
Shared this with my family. I hope March is when things finally get easier. All the best!
Hope it all works out. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Greetings from Caloocan.
Stay strong, Laxman. This could happen to any of us. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Take care.
