Paula is isolated after spinal surgery: a call a week would help
No advice needed - just a kind ear and some conversation for 30 minutes a week.

After spinal surgery, 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 film, travel stories and poetry, 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. Hope the doctors have good news. Sent it to 5 people at work. All the best.
Rooting for you. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. After 26 years in nursing I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Love from Sacramento
Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Wish I lived closer to Chattogram so I could bring a meal.
Best of luck, Paula. Get well soon.
you're not alone. Looking forward to the next update. Sent it to 35 people at work.
