Andrew was warned to expect sudden deteriorations in Mum's condition. She has mixed dementia - Alzheimer's and vascular (which is often accompanied by sudden declines). Last week she began to really struggle with eating, particularly swallowing. This week he talks about the problems she's having moving, eg telling her body to get up, and responding to simple requests. Mum and Me: The Dementia Diary was originally broadcast on Â鶹Éç Radio Leeds.
