After a broken pelvis, 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 film, travel stories and poetry, 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.
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

Rooting for you, Marlene. Wishing Marlene a smooth procedure and a full recovery. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Love from Nagoya.
Sending strength. Hope the doctors have good news. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. God bless.
