After spinal surgery, 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. You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

    Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. Wish I lived closer to Rawalpindi so I could bring a meal.

      Thinking of you and your family, Zenaida. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. Sent it to 12 people at work. Take care.

        Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. I'm in construction myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Take care.
