    Hi @Callie123
    Welcome to the community, sorry to hear that you are feeling lonely, but great to hear you get out every day.  Have you looked at what groups are local to you? Your GP surgery, community centres and libraries usually have information on what is going on.

    We are a friendly group here so do jump in and get involved :)

    Hi @Callie123

    Welcome to the community. My mum is stroke survival with right side paralysis (hand is the most affected) + aphasia. 
    I do understand your feelings. Here is another member of community brining to the attention loneliness problem and is stroke survival too. Let me introduce @deedeex. Please chat to mentioned person, perhaps you are leaving near by and could make a friends.
