After a broken pelvis, 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.
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

Thinking of you and your family, Umesh. This could happen to any of us. Greetings from Los Angeles
Wishing you peace, Umesh. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. My sister had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Blessings
Hope things get better soon. Hope the doctors have good news. Put this on a community board in Comilla this morning
keep going. Your post was clear and honest. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double!
You're not alone. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. All the best.
