After a stroke, I have been mostly housebound for 3 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.
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

- 30 minutes a week

Wishing you peace. Hope this works out for you. My husband and I read this together. Take care
Hope it all works out, Tomoko. Shared it with a few friends. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Thinking of Setagaya
rooting for you, Tomoko. Wishing Tomoko a smooth procedure and a full recovery. Take care.
Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. My colleague had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Love from Phuket.
keep going, Tomoko. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier.
rooting for you. Hope this works out for you. Greetings from Magelang
So sorry you're going through this, Tomoko. Looking forward to the next update. Take care.
hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. Don't give up. Thinking of Setagaya.
you're not alone, Tomoko. Hope this works out for you. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too.
