Noreen is isolated after spinal surgery: a call a week would help
Noreen is housebound after spinal surgery and is looking for a friendly, patient person for a weekly call.

After spinal surgery, I have been mostly housebound for 8 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.

Take care. Your post was clear and honest. Wish I lived closer to Colombo so I could bring a meal. Thinking of Rawalpindi.
thanks for sharing this, Noreen. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust
Gave what I could, wish it was more. My neighbor in Buffalo donated after I showed her your page. Thinking of Rawalpindi.
Wishing Noreen a smooth procedure and a full recovery. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day.
sending strength, Noreen. Wishing Noreen a smooth procedure and a full recovery. We're a small family in Campinas but we're thinking of you.
Best of luck, Noreen. Hope the doctors have good news. All the best.
Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. Love from Mangaluru.
