Declan 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 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 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.
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

Hope things get better soon, Declan. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick
Sending strength, Declan. I hope things turn around soon. After 8 years in logistics I know how hard it's to ask for anything.
You're not alone. Shared it with a few friends. Love from Sheffield
sending good thoughts, Declan. Your post was clear and honest. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Thinking of Brooklyn!
