Swapnil is isolated after a stroke: a call a week would help

No advice needed - just a kind ear and some conversation for 30 minutes a week.

After a stroke, I have been mostly housebound for 6 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.

    Best of luck. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I hope May is when things finally get easier. God bless.

      Sending good thoughts, Swapnil. Shared this with my family. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Thinking of Kolkata.
