A weekly phone friend for Rocco, recovering at home after spinal surgery
No advice needed - just a kind ear and some conversation for 30 minutes a week.

After spinal surgery, I have been mostly housebound for 7 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.
I hope life is good to you.

Rooting for you, Rocco. Get well soon. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Greetings from Hialeah.
Hope it all works out, Rocco. Hope this works out for you. Don't give up. Love from Caloocan.
Thinking of you and your family, Rocco. Shared this with my family. I went through something like this 13 years ago and strangers helped me out. Love from Kansas City
