Roller coaster ride of recovery

For every good day it seems there has to be a bad one. Mom is very unstable today and having trouble sitting up or moving in general.  When she wants to she's moves fast but uncontrolled. The nurses are still having trouble with mom getting up on her own. She did it once while I was in her room, and she stood up quick and fell back into her chair before I could get to her. This is a very dangerous situation for mom, and I'm just not sure she understands that she might fall. Is this the dementia stage of the PSP starting? Today really has me thinking about how I can change our setup at home to insure her safety. Unfortunately, you can only do so much, and ultimately mom is the biggest factor in her own safety. She has to follow the rules.
