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.
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

- 30 minutes a week

this could happen to any of us. I went through something like this 13 years ago and strangers helped me out. Greetings from Mumbai.
Sending good thoughts, Anna. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. Greetings from Macon
Praying for you, Anna. Hope this works out for you. It's not much but it's yours. Thinking of Padua
Take care. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. Thinking of Padua.
