I secretly put in my old hearing aid, suspecting my niece Dani would confiscate the new one, which she did, lying to the hospital nurse – “She gets frequent ear infections” – so I could still hear Dani telling the social worker she reluctantly felt it was time for me to be declared incompetent and for her to take over my financial responsibilities, but I had prepared the social worker for Dani’s perfidy during our daily chess game, hence he called the elder abuse folks about her, ordering me a cab home on the same day as Dani was due in court.

Interesting elder self defense. Also, the one sentence format was very effective.
