After a long hospital stay, I have been mostly housebound for 12 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 history, chess and quiz shows, 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 not alone, Olivier. Shared this with my family. We're a small family in Madurai but we're thinking of you. Love from Madurai
praying for you, Olivier. Your post was clear and honest. My husband and I read this together. All the best.
