Babar is isolated after spinal surgery: a call a week would help
Babar is housebound after spinal surgery and is looking for a friendly, patient person for a weekly call.

After spinal surgery, I have been mostly housebound for 5 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.
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

- 30 minutes a week

so sorry you're going through this, Babar. Shared it with a few friends. Wish I lived closer to Setagaya so I could bring a meal. Thinking of Lahore.
Sending good thoughts. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I went through something like this 2 years ago and strangers helped me out. Greetings from London
Thinking of you. Hope the doctors have good news. I went through something like this 4 years ago and strangers helped me out
thanks for sharing this. Shared this with my family. I went through something like this 14 years ago and strangers helped me out. Love from Phuket.
Thinking of you and your family, Babar. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I went through something like this 12 years ago and strangers helped me out. God bless.
