Efe is isolated after spinal surgery: a call a week would help
Efe 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 10 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.

Shared this with my family. My husband and I read this together.
Wishing you peace. Your post was clear and honest. I went through something like this 6 years ago and strangers helped me out.
Rooting for you, Efe. Hope you get there. I have a 6 year old who wants to send good wishes too. All the best
You're not alone, Efe. Shared this with my family. I hope December is when things finally get easier.
