Adriana is isolated after spinal surgery: a call a week would help

No advice needed - just a kind ear and some conversation for 30 minutes a week.

After spinal surgery, I have been mostly housebound for 7 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. Glad we found this place.

    thinking of you and your family, Adriana. It takes guts to ask. Well done. After 25 years in social work I know how hard it's to ask for anything.

          Take care. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Put this on a community board in Cluj-Napoca this morning. Love from Cluj-Napoca.
