Nova is isolated after a long hospital stay: a call a week would help
No advice needed - just a kind ear and some conversation for 30 minutes a week.

After a long hospital stay, I have been mostly housebound for 4 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.
Glad we found this place.

rooting for you. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money.
sending good thoughts. Hope you get there. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected.
best of luck. I hope things turn around soon. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Thinking of Dundee
sending good thoughts, Nova. Hope you get there.
hope it all works out. Hope you get there. My husband and I read this together. Take care.
Hope things get better soon. Shared it with a few friends. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Blessings
sending love. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Put this on a community board in Hanoi this morning. Love from Hanoi!
Keep going. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. Take care
Hang in there, Nova. Looking forward to the next update. Love from Breda.
hope things get better soon, Nova. Hope the doctors have good news. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Thinking of Dundee.
Wishing you peace, Nova. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier.
