A year and a half ago my mother broke her shoulder while at work, now today after tripping on a pothole in a parking lot she's fractured both her arms.

I feel awful, my mom is like me where we always have to be doing something, for her it's kniting and it took her so long the last time to be able to knit after she broke her shoulder, now she's lost both use of her arms for who knows how long.

I feel so helpless, why does all this horrible stuff keep happening to her. I know I'll have to take over all the house work (which is fine I actually like cleaning) but I still feel helpless. Watching her be in pain is going to end me.
