Gloria is isolated after a stroke: a call a week would help
No advice needed - just a kind ear and some conversation for 30 minutes a week.

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 music, books and gardening, 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 for reading my story.

Praying for you. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Greetings from Bergamo
sending strength, Gloria. Hope the doctors have good news. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Take care.
Hang in there. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. I went through something like this 14 years ago and strangers helped me out. Greetings from Surabaya.
thanks for sharing this, Gloria. This could happen to any of us. We're a small family in Tokyo but we're thinking of you. Thinking of Sacramento.
Best of luck, Gloria. Wishing Gloria a smooth procedure and a full recovery. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day.
