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.
Thanks for being kind about this.

Sending strength. Hope this works out for you. Love from Mumbai.
You're not alone. 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. Take care.
Sending good thoughts, Mónica. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier.
Keep going, Mónica. Wishing Mónica a smooth procedure and a full recovery. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Blessings.
Wishing Mónica a smooth procedure and a full recovery. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Love from Córdoba
