Mom demonstrated to me that she was still not only capable of playing piano but derived so much pleasure from it that getting to her piano sometimes is more important than doing so safely. When I go over real-world options about this situation? I wouldn’t have it any other way.

Sometimes satisfaction is being in the kitchen and having to make a sudden dash back to the other room.
See, I had suggested that when I made mom her after dinner coffee that I would love to hear her on the piano. I had gone into the kitchen and then noticed mom was trying to move the piano bench, a bit of a physical struggle and challenging to say the least when you have balance issues. After she was seated I returned to the kitchen to get her coffee-chino & she was playing immediately. Hey slow down there, Greased Lightning. Your piano isn’t going anywhere. Neither are you.
