After a stroke, 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.

Stay strong, Rainer. Hope you get there. I'm in hospitality myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. All the best.
thinking of you. Wishing Rainer a smooth procedure and a full recovery. My father had a similar thing happen so this one hit home.
Thanks for sharing this, Rainer. Hope you get there. Don't be hard on yourself for asking
You're not alone. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Greetings from Pune!
Hope the doctors have good news. Sent it to 39 people at work. Thinking of Munich.
