Andrew gets called over after Mum struggles to move her legs
Andrew has another stressful drive along the M62 to visit Mum. The carers call him after she struggles to move her legs and stand up. In the end all is well, but Andrew thinks she may have had another seizure in the middle of the night. His visit ends with a moment of tenderness - cutting Mum's nails. It reminds him how the roles have reversed, with the child now looking after the parent. Mum and Me: The Dementia Diary was originally broadcast on 大象传媒 Radio Leeds.
