She is (at the moment) much better than she was in hospital. But her mental and physical states are so variable (on an hourly basis) and her organisational/rational skills virtually non-existent - she needs 24-hour care but cannot see that.
I'm in for a bumpy ride - the more my mum, in the character that I know and love, comes back to me, the more we're going to argue.

Not at all, limey. I feel for you. You have a difficult road ahead.

Is there anyone whom your Mom trusts implicitly? Sibling, favorite son, favorite doctor? You might get some leverage that way.

Good luck. We're here to listen whenever you need it.
