After spinal surgery, I have been mostly housebound for 12 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.
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

Sending love, Susana. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Don't be hard on yourself for asking!
Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Love from Aberdeen.
thanks for sharing this. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Put this on a community board in Nakhon Ratchasima this morning.
hang in there. Wishing Susana a smooth procedure and a full recovery. Greetings from Cairo.
Wishing you the best, Susana. Hope you get there. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Greetings from Leicester
