After a long hospital stay, I have been mostly housebound for 4 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.
Thank you for reading my story.

So sorry you're going through this, Rakesh. Shared this with my family.
Best of luck, Rakesh. This could happen to any of us. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Blessings.
Thinking of you and your family, Rakesh. This could happen to any of us. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend.

Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. I went through something like this 13 years ago and strangers helped me out
Best of luck, Rakesh. Shared this with my family. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Greetings from Gwagwalada.
take care. Wishing Rakesh a smooth procedure and a full recovery. My neighbor in Juiz de Fora donated after I showed her your page. Love from Juiz de Fora.

You're not alone. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. My sister had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Take care.
Rooting for you. Gave what I could, wish it was more. I have a 16 year old who wants to send good wishes too!
