A weekly phone friend for Vincenzo, recovering at home after a long COVID relapse
No advice needed - just a kind ear and some conversation for 30 minutes a week.

After a long COVID relapse, I have been mostly housebound for 6 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.
Glad we found this place.

Keep going, Vincenzo. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. Thinking of Salerno
Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. Greetings from Hyderabad.
Best of luck. Your post was clear and honest. I went through something like this 11 years ago and strangers helped me out.
Hope you get there. After 25 years in farming I know how hard it is to ask for anything. God bless.
Shared it with a few friends. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Love from London.
Hope it all works out, Vincenzo. Hope the doctors have good news.
