Steve seems to have given up living in the real world.
He's told the neighbours that the problems with his knee have been on going for the last three years and are the reason he gave up living on the boat.
I don't actually care what twaddle he tells people but unless he warns me I'm just going to look totally confused when faced with tales of this alternative reality.
Obviously he won't admit that he's an alcoholic but I'm sure people must notice the copious amount of alcohol he consumes!
In other news I went out y'day and met up with two ex work colleagues. I caught a bus which Steve doesn't like me doing and not only did I not write my plans on the white board, I didn't tell him I was going out until he got up at 11ish and I then went on the 12:30 bus.

I think it's a great idea not telling him your plans - What just popped in my mind was I hope he doesn't decide that you are then a missing person and call the police as mine did once - He had even dropped me off at the hospital at my request with stroke symptoms ( it was hemiplegic migraine which is similar ) After leaving me to there he then went home but did not collect me until evening after phoning my relatives and the police telling them I was missing - Luckily my relatives told him to go and fetch me - Honestly - ! ! x
Good for you hope you had a great day
Glad you were able to get together with your friends. Keeping up social contacts is so important .
The neighbours obviously know he has a brain injury and so it will be he that looks confused when you tell a different story to his.
You keep meeting your friends, it’s so good for your mental health
Well done, hope you had a great time at your meet up. Subterfuge is the way to get yourself more freedom. It's sad you have to go to these lengths but necessary for your mental health.
I'm glad you are taking care of yourself.
In October, I'm going on vacation with a friend (54) who is living with her father (83), who is rapidly developing Alzheimer's. She's planning his 2-week stay in a care hostel, but hasn't told him yet. She's not planning on telling him yet, just the day before and then dropping him off.
It must be quite frustrating for you but you are dealing with him admirably, wish I had your patience. On a slightly positive note, at least he is not blaming you this time for stopping him boating.
It's all about tactics and strategy.
Keep looking after yourself and please pass on gentle scritches to Beano.
