Andrew, in Leeds, gets an emergency call out from the evening carers. They suspect Mum's had a stroke. But, after a stressful drive to her home in Hull, the paramedics reassure him that she doesn't need taking to hospital. It turns out she's had another dementia episode. He returns a few days later with his daughter. Her first grandchild has been studying overseas and hasn't seen Grandma for nearly a year. Mum and Me: The Dementia Diary was originally broadcast on BBC Radio Leeds.
