Bo is isolated after a stroke: a call a week would help
Bo is housebound after a stroke and is looking for a friendly, patient person for a weekly call.

After a stroke, 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 history, chess and quiz shows, 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.

Stay strong, Bo. It takes guts to ask. Well done. God bless.
Wishing you peace. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. Love from Khulna.
Hope things get better soon. Your post was clear and honest. I have a 15 year old who wants to send good wishes too.
rooting for you, Bo. This could happen to any of us. I'll check back for the next update. God bless.
