It’s a roller coaster ride

My mom is living with me and on in home hospice care. She is in late stage dementia, incontinent and almost completely unable to talk. Most of the time she cannot walk, so we use a transfer chair. She cannot figure out how to use the toilet either (most of the time ). But last night she got out of bed very quietly so I didn’t hear her through the monitor. She walked to the bathroom, and got herself on the toilet but didn’t need to because it was all in the diaper. I brought the wheelchair in to her and got her changed. So WHY is it that she was able to do that when most of the time she can’t? Now this morning she can barely stand and get in the transfer chair. It’s definitely a roller coaster ride. Different every day.
