A weekly phone friend for Wayne, 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 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 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.
Thanks for being kind about this.

Wishing you peace, Wayne. Shared it with a few friends. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. All the best.
Stay strong, Wayne. Looking forward to the next update. Please keep us posted. Greetings from Saket.
Thinking of you, Wayne. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes.
