I think you missed my sarc (/s) tag on the end. I don’t think she has it at all. She went from having no control of her muscles to being able to walk unaided - all in a space of 90 minutes. That was not a result of pneumonia. It wouldn’t clear up that quick in someone that old. She has Parkinsons and it was an episode. She rested for 90 min and was probably given a strong dose of L. Dopa to keep her going for a short while.

Her "freezing" also goes along with Parkinson's. She was stiff as a board leaning against the bollard. When they tried to move her, she fell. This is likely why she has had so many falls.

"The unpredictability of freezing, along with efforts by well-meaning companions to force the person with PD to move, may cause loss of balance and falls."
