Brooklyn is isolated after chemotherapy: a call a week would help

After chemotherapy, 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 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.
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

stay strong, Brooklyn. Wishing Brooklyn a smooth procedure and a full recovery. My neighbor had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Blessings.
Sending strength, Brooklyn. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too
Sending strength. Shared it with a few friends. Don't give up. Thinking of Sheffield.
Rooting for you. Hope this works out for you. After 17 years in logistics I know how hard it's to ask for anything.
