I’ve just opened his suitcase and found 8 pairs of shorts all different colours like he wants, some look brand new plus 5 pairs of pyjama shorts. This is in addition to the 3 pairs of shorts he’s already got in his wardrobe. He has now admitted he doesn’t need any 🥳According to Mr SA I am deaf because I can’t tell what he’s saying a lot of the time as he has a slurred voice as a result of the brain damage. It’s not him it’s my ears apparently. Yet when others can’t tell what he’s saying it’s fine they’re not deaf. He also has the TV on at volume 7 which is almost inaudible. When I ask him to turn the volume up he says I need my ears testing 🙄I get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping)7

Well he’s giving me a run for my money today. Just got out of the bath to find him on the floor in the garden, he’d had another fall. Thank goodness DD wasn’t at work, it took both of us to get him up. He’s covered in cuts and bruises and has crushed my garden chair that he fell on. Originally had two of these chairs, he’s fallen on and crushed them both now. The main thing is he’s not badly hurt, how he doesn’t break any bones I don’t know. Just as well he’s got a fair bit of padding.I get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping)7 -

I would have been so tempted to wrap up the shorts.
So sorry that Mr SA has had another fall.
