I just got a call from my sister in law. Mom is out of surgery, going into recovery. Everything went well.

I talked to Mom on the phone this afternoon. She'd been sleeping, and I woke her up, but she didn't mind. She doesn't have much pain at all, so isn't taking anything for pain. That's really good, since she is very chemically sensitive, and over-reacts to drugs, sometimes pretty seriously.
She's going to be there for 3 days or so. Before she gets out, they are going to take her to rehab and teach her exercises to do. She'll be able to do her bookkeeping. It is her left arm that is fractured, so it won't be a problem.

Mom isn't in Florida. My brother has a winter place down there, which is close to our dad's youngest brother's winter place. They're in Zephyrhills. Mom & Dad were visiting down there for 2 weeks, and just returned here yesterday. My brother also lives up here, except during the winter. His wife is several years younger than he is, and still works full time up here, so she doesn't spend the winter down there. She's the one who picked Mom & Dad up at the airport & took Mom to the emergency room.
My brother isn't actually retired. He was a dairy farmer for 30 years, beginning even while he was still in school. When he finally got tired of "getting kicked" he sold his cows, and started just raising hay to sell to other dairy farmers. So he can be gone all winter now, which he actually has to do for health reasons. If he stays up here, he gets pneumonia every winter.

I know some people who live in Zephyrhills, I believe they still live there.

Mom is going to go home tomorrow. They have been arranging for the equipment she needs, teaching her how to do things, what not to do, and exercises, making appointments for home PT. The biggest issue now is that she has a very high pain tolerance, so she doesn't notice her body's signal that she is over-doing something.
