In a December 2017 visit to his primary care provider, Terry Sanderson tells the physician: "I'm feeling old."

The line is included in a note added into evidence, where Sanderson says he is unhappy with his weight gain and plans to renew his gym membership.

Sanderson tells the court he now has a list of more than 1,000 things he can't get done any more because "I can't figure it out". He notes the list keeps growing larger.

Sanderson is asked about his friendships and he explains how some have broken down since his accident.

He refers to one friendship saying: "I'm losing my self-confidence."

He's asked if he's trying to improve himself.

Sanderson responds by saying he's been in denial about his brain injury.

The attorney asks again: "Are you trying to improve yourself?"

He says: "Yes, I'm trying to prove that I don't have a problem."

Sanderson is back after a brief break, and he is asked about his emotional change.

"There's no question I have a much wider range of temperament than I had before," he concedes.

He describes himself as a self-imposed recluse, who is "not feeling as fun" any more and doesn't "have the same spark I had".

He notes he has travelled by himself, but prefers to travel with somebody else because he gets lost more often and worries about his physical injuries.

"I didn't feel as secure travelling alone," he says.

He adds his yoga instructor had told him: "I don't like you any more. You're a different person."

Sanderson is asked about how the crash has affected him emotionally and how it has affected his relationship with his daughters.

He said: "Something's wrong in what I bring to the table with my girls, they've told me they've noticed the changes."

He's questioned about what kind of relationships he had with his daughters before the crash and responds with: "My girls are my angels, I'm their protector."

The attorney asks: "Do you love your girls? From your perspective, what is your relationship like with [other daughter] Jenny?"

Sanderson explains there have been times when it's been hard with Jenny: "Jenny and I probably don't communicate as well as I do with my other two daughters."

He's also asked about Karlene, his ex-girlfriend whom he dated for about 18 months before the crash and why they broke up.

He said: "I knew she didn't buy into me not being the same person. I said: 'I'm not sure I'm going to get back to normal again.'" Sanderson breaks into tears as he explains why he let Karlene go.

The court is taking a short break.

Sanderson describes how the accident has affected him mentally.

"I never feel like I've explained enough," he says.

He says that every time he is telling others how he is feeling, there are "big gaps" and he feels like he has to "build from the little things".

He adds that he frequently seems to get lost since the ski crash, with little instinct for direction.

"I've never relied so much on maps," he says. "I'm pretty sure I've lost visual memory."

Sanderson is asked about the injuries he's had since the accident.

He says: "I had four broken ribs, sustained a concussion and later on had some right leg movement anomalies, it has its own ideas of where it needs to be as opposed to my own thinking."

He adds: "I'm living another life now. I can't ski any more; if I did and I had another crash, I could end up full-time in a nursing home."

Sanderson explains he's tried to ski a few times since, but he's had to stop every 30 yards to make sure "no-one was right behind him".

He's asked about his physical being.

Sanderson says: "I'm a much more careful person, don't take any risks. Initially my life was sitting in an orange chair and sleeping for 12 hours."

In his so-called "I'm famous" email, Terry Sanderson shared a link to an image of Whitney Smith from the ski patrol.

Sanderson relays to his three daughters how "grateful" he was for Whitney, who he calls a "sweetheart" who helped him "a lot".

"She verbalised things for me because things weren't making sense," he says.

Shae Herath, one of his daughters, responds to the email and adds to the subject line. It reads: "I'm famous... at what cost?"

In their email exchange, Sanderson suggests there must be a GoPro video of the incident, as skiers often carry such cameras with them.

He tells the court that he did not know if one actually existed and has never seen one.

"I would have loved to have it," he adds. "That was what we needed."

Sanderson is asked about when he found out it was Gwyneth Paltrow.

The attorney asks: "Did you think it was cool to collide with a celebrity?"

He explains he's never been interested in celebrity types and that he just wanted to let his kids know he was OK.

The courtroom is then shown an email he sent saying: "We're going to call it the 'I'm famous' email."

He's asked why he wrote "I'm famous", and Sanderson says: "I didn't pick my words well and my head was scrambled, I was just trying to communicate with my kids and add a little levity to the situation and it backfired."

After that, Sanderson describes interacting with a female member of the ski patrol called Whitney, who asked him simple questions to check his memory and recall abilities.

"She's wanting to check if my brain's OK," he says he remembered thinking.

Once he got off the mountain, he claims he did not receive immediate medical care.

Sanderson is asked several times about how he got up from the ground.

He says: "A man just reached down and grabbed me and jerked me up. I was not ready to be up on my feet. He gets me up and I'm on the edge of the run."

Sanderson explains how his head was swimming when the man disappeared and he was left standing there, not feeling safe.

He's asked about how he got out of the situation. Sanderson said he followed Craig Ramone and doesn't know how he skied.

He explains he was frightened of being smacked into again and that he felt vulnerable.

Sanderson adds: "Craig turned round and said: 'Terry you've forgotten how to ski.'"

Terry Sanderson says he tried to mouth the word "sorry" to the "angry male voice" screaming at him, purely out of the need for "self-protection".

He describes to the court the pain he felt after the crash.

His ribs were sore with a "deep, throbbing, purple pain", he says, and his vision was "swimming with sparks".

His ears were "buzzing" and his brain felt like it was on the drug Novacane, he adds.

Sanderson says he heard nothing after the accident. He explains how he was trying to move, his skis were still on and he says a man was "really mad" near him.

He adds: "There was one voice that my brain was focused on, I only heard an angry male voice. I'm still on the ground face down."

He's asked how he got up.

Sanderson says: "I heard Craig saying, 'Terry are you OK?' And then I said 'Oh my gosh' and I looked up and could see Craig standing there."

After hearing a "blood-curdling scream" like he'd never heard before, Sanderson describes being hit hard in his back.

As Gwyneth Paltrow shakes her head from the attorney's desk, the retired eye doctor says the contact from the collision felt "perfectly centered" in the bottom of his shoulder blades.

"I've never been hit that hard," he said.

He goes on: "The last thing I remember: everything is black."

An attorney is questioning Terry Sanderson about what he remembers from the day of the accident.

Sanderson says: "It was a nice day for skiing and I was really looking forward to it.

"I'm skiing easy and paying attention, and in front of me are two big 'slow down' signs. I backed off and then another big sign and I could see down where the edge of the run went. There was nothing in front of me."

Sanderson explains it's hard to describe the moment of the collision for him.

He say: "I just remember going down and then hearing a blood-curdling scream and then boom."

He says in his mind he thought it sounded like "someone was out of control and had hit a tree and was going to die".

Witness Craig Ramone has finished giving evidence at the stand.

Next up is Terry Sanderson, who has just taken the oath and is now in the witness box ready to testify.

After answering the first question, his testimony is halted as lawyers gather for a huddle.

When asked why he had not attended every day of the trial, Sanderson says he skipped his daughters' testimony so they could "speak freely" about him.

Terry Sanderson's legal team is expected to rest later today - but they've just put Craig Ramone back on the stand. Ramone, who testified at length on Tuesday, was likely to have been the only person to witness the collision in full.

In his previous testimony, Ramone said he was "skiing down the run" with Sanderson when he heard a scream.

"I looked over and I see this skier just slam into the back of Terry," he said.

The force of the collision caused his friend to land on the ground "face down, spread eagle, with Gwyneth on top of him", Ramone testified.

Sanderson didn't move for a few minutes, but Paltrow slid off him and bolted away without saying anything, he alleged.

Ramone said Deer Valley Resort ski instructor Eric Christiansen came up to them after the crash and was hostile, but added he said: "Gwyneth Paltrow took out your buddy."

He also described how he had called the ski patrol for help getting Sanderson off the mountain.

On Monday, he is being asked about social media posts related to the accident that have just been introduced into evidence.

We're hearing from eyewitness Craig Ramone (who has also been referred to as Greg), 58, who was skiing with Terry Sanderson when the collision happened.

He's just sworn an oath and currently the court is hearing what Ramone wrote in an online chat the day of the crash.

Craig said in one of his messages a few days after the crash that it "scared the hell out of" him.

He also said one week after in the messages that "Gwyneth just took out Terry and then took off".

It's been a battle of "he said, she said" and the trial has turned on the testimony of its many characters:

• Terry Sanderson: The retired eye doctor, 76, claims a "distracted" and "reckless" Gwyneth Paltrow left him with life-altering injuries
• Gwyneth Paltrow: The Hollywood actress and wellness warrior, 50, is countersuing over Sanderson's version of events; she argues he skied directly into her from behind
• Sanderson family: Two of Sanderson's daughters - Polly Sanderson-Grasham and Shae Herath - testified last week that their father's personality and demeanour changed significantly after the crash
• Paltrow family: Gwyneth Paltrow's two children from her previous marriage to Coldplay frontman Chris Martin - Apple Martin, 18, and Moses Martin, 16 - as well as her current husband, TV writer/producer Brad Falchuk, will testify on her behalf today
• Sanderson's legal team has had four doctors testifying on their behalf. Neuropsychologists Dr Alina Fong and Dr Sam Goldstein testified about concussion symptoms that have "completely changed his life", while neuroradiologist Dr Wendell Gibby argued "the abrupt change in his functioning, his behaviour and his ability to interact with people" were not related to his pre-existing medical issues
• Craig Ramone, 58, a friend of Sanderson's and the lone eyewitness to the collision, claims he heard Paltrow scream, then saw her "hit Terry directly in the back", slide off him and bolt from the scene
• Eric Christiansen, a ski instructor at Deer Valley Resort who was teaching Moses Martin at the time of the collision, is said to have exchanged words with Sanderson and Ramone after the incident; he is due to testify later this week
