After a stroke, I have been mostly housebound for 3 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.

Hope things get better soon. Get well soon. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend.
Sending strength, Josefina. Looking forward to the next update. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Take care.
This could happen to any of us. Love from Sherbrooke.
Take care, Josefina. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. After 12 years in customer support I know how hard it is to ask for anything.
good luck. Hope the doctors have good news. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Love from Saket.
