Living with long Covid: My father's story

Breakfast on BBC Radio WM

Available for over a year

At the start of this year Len Redding from Stourbridge - who's in his 60s - was feeling fit and well. In March he caught Covid-19 and was taken to hospital in an ambulance. He survived but six months on his life is very different. He's now in a care home and his family are having to come to terms with the fact that he may never fully recover. BBC Radio WM has been speaking to his daughter Becky about the impact Coronavirus has had on her father.
