After spinal surgery, 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 music, books and gardening, 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.

Thanks for sharing this, Radhika. Your post was clear and honest
Best of luck, Radhika. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Blessings.
Wishing you the best, Radhika. Hope this works out for you.
Rooting for you, Radhika. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I'm in teaching myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you
Rooting for you. Shared it with a few friends. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Thinking of Aurangabad
Shared it with a few friends. My cousin had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Greetings from Durgapur.
you're not alone, Radhika. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Blessings.
So sorry you're going through this, Radhika. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Put this on a community board in Tokyo this morning. Greetings from Tokyo
Thinking of you, Radhika. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected!
Thinking of you. Looking forward to the next update. I hope November is when things finally get easier.
Wishing you the best, Radhika. Get well soon. Blessings.

Good luck, Radhika. Shared it with a few friends. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. All the best
