Eleanor is isolated after a stroke: a call a week would help
Eleanor 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 6 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.
Thank you so much.

Sending good thoughts, Eleanor. Shared this with my family. Greetings from Bonny.
Thinking of you and your family, Eleanor. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. Thinking of Hamilton.
rooting for you, Eleanor. Your post was clear and honest. Blessings.
you're not alone. Your post was clear and honest. I went through something like this 14 years ago and strangers helped me out. Blessings.
Thinking of you and your family, Eleanor. It takes guts to ask. Well done. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Take care.
sending strength. Hope this works out for you. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. God bless
Hope it all works out. Hope the doctors have good news. Greetings from São Paulo
