After a stroke, I have been mostly housebound for 7 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.
Glad we found this place.

Sending good thoughts, Lorena. Hope the doctors have good news. Thinking of Mexicali.
Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Sent it to 27 people at work.
Hang in there. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. My neighbor had a similar thing happen so this one hit home.
Hope it all works out, Lorena. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Love from Kampala.
sending strength. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Love from St. Petersburg.
