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 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.
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

- 30 minutes a week

So sorry you're going through this, Isabel. Shared this with my family. Wish I lived closer to Sydney so I could bring a meal. Take care.
Good luck, Isabel. Hope you get there.
Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Put this on a community board in Toronto this morning. God bless.
