Getting Better, Getting Worse

As one of the nurses told me awhile ago, when patients start getting better, i.e. more aware of their situations and surroundings, they start getting worse. I believe this is what is now happening with Sam. She has become a bit more aware and therefore is having a tough time with where she is, what is happening and what has happened to her. She is definitely scared and asking all sorts of tough questions, that don't seem to have answers to them. It is hard for me to see her struggling in this way, but I need to keep in mind that this is what progress looks like.
