After spinal surgery, I have been mostly housebound for 8 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 film, travel stories and poetry, 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.

thanks for sharing this, Adalynn. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. My colleague had a similar thing happen so this one hit home.
Get well soon. Sent it to 10 people at work.
Sending good thoughts. Shared this with my family. Greetings from Sheffield.
thinking of you, Adalynn. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My neighbor in Vadodara donated after I showed her your page. Take care.
