After spinal surgery, 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.
Thank you so much.

Keep going. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. We're a small family in London but we're thinking of you.

Thinking of you. Shared this with my family. Wish I lived closer to Gazipur so I could bring a meal.
