A weekly phone friend for Rubina, 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 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 podcasts, football and cooking, 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.
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

Thinking of you and your family, Rubina. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. It's not much but it's yours. Blessings
Praying for you, Rubina. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected.
Thanks for sharing this, Rubina. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. My husband and I read this together. Greetings from Asaba.

Stay strong, Rubina. I hope things turn around soon. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Greetings from Jacksonville

Thanks for sharing this. Shared this with my family. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. God bless
Good luck. Shared this with my family. I have a 13 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Thinking of Savar.
Thinking of you. Wishing Rubina a smooth procedure and a full recovery. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double.
