After spinal surgery, 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.
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

So sorry you're going through this, Peter. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Thinking of Regensburg.
Good luck, Peter. Looking forward to the next update
Take care. I hope things turn around soon. I went through something like this 8 years ago and strangers helped me out. Thinking of Regensburg.
Thinking of you, Peter. Hope the doctors have good news. All the best
This could happen to any of us. Love from Nottingham
