After spinal surgery, 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 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.
Glad we found this place.

you're not alone. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. My husband and I read this together!
sending strength. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Put this on a community board in Jakarta this morning
Hope you get there. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Blessings
shared this with my family. Wish I lived closer to Taguig so I could bring a meal.
Best of luck. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. Don't give up. God bless.
