Reiko is isolated after a broken pelvis: a call a week would help
Reiko is housebound after a broken pelvis and is looking for a friendly, patient person for a weekly call.

After a broken pelvis, I have been mostly housebound for 12 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.
Thank you for reading my story.

Praying for you, Reiko. Hope the doctors have good news. Thinking of Yokohama.
So sorry you're going through this, Reiko. Shared this with my family. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected.
I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. Sent it to 31 people at work. Blessings.
Sending love, Reiko. Hope the doctors have good news. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Take care.
Good luck, Reiko. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Wish I lived closer to Kolkata so I could bring a meal. Blessings
