Carolyn has mixed dementia, vascular and Alzheimer's. She's spent three weeks in hospital in 2021 with liver and gallbladder problems. But - after each stay - has recovered and returned home. Son Andrew has therefore been inviting Mum's friends to see her while she's well enough to receive visitors. She's known Jill since they were eleven - 75 years of friendship from high school onwards. They went to dance class together, played badminton on Saturday mornings and Mum was Jill's bridesmaid when she married in 1960. Andrew is reduced to tears when he's given a picture of a joyful, girlish Mum on that day in 1960. Mum and Me: The Dementia Diary was originally broadcast on 成人论坛 Radio Leeds.
