Andrew reflects on incontinence ... and one of the big lessons of the last year - appreciating the simple stuff

Available for over a year

Andrew spends the morning sorting out Mum's incontinence pants, pads and sheets. He talks about what a difficult and distressing issue incontinence is for many people with dementia. After lunch, he and next door neighbour Anne have another walk to the park, pushing Mum in the wheelchair. He reflects on one of the big lessons of the last year for so many of us - the importance of appreciating life's simple pleasures. Mum and Me: The Dementia Diary was originally broadcast on BBC Radio Leeds.
