I'm not going to lecture him again about tossing the key out of the window. He'll regret that when the city sends him the bill for the hole in the pavement, "some team-building exercise."
I've got more questions, probably too many. It's not time for them. So I go back to what I do best, which is focusing on the facts, the practical side, "this doesn't change anything. I'm going to take care of you. If you need medical treatment, or - or something else," It's probably best not to mention at this stage that I have been thinking about whether he'll eventually need to go into a full-time care home, "I'll take care of it. I haven't got anyone else. I don't know that you do either."
It's not answering his point. At the moment I don't know how to do that. But at the very least, I care, and I know he's aware that what I am saying is the best way I can express it just at this moment.
