And there it is ... 2020 getting worse!
Just got off the phone, my mom is going for an emergency surgery later today. She jogs every day, her yesterday jog didn't go well, she tripped and fell on concrete steps and her left arm ulna fractured length wise.
She's getting rods and screws installed so that the bone can heal correctly, but it's still 50/50 that she won't be able to regain complete use of her left arm (it shattered near the elbow, basically it's one of the worse type of shatter for that bone and her age). Thankfully, she's going to be 65 in a few months and was preparing for a partial retirement, looks like this is going to accelerate her retirement plans!
2020 fucking sucks, can't wait for 2021 to come around!

The other frustrating part is that she's 2.5h away.
Currently planning the upcomming weekend, I'll probably do a trip to go and see her, to make sure she's ok and to bring her some books and other things (though she's not alone, her husband is with her, currently keeping in touch with him through SMS, they're going to the hospital at noon for surgery prep, they don't have a specific time for the surgery since it's an emergency, they have to fit her in between scheduled ones, the hospital said between 1pm and 6pm).

Hope she gets well soon
