Secondly regarding the house. If your mother cannot afford to keep up with her home, maybe it was time to downsize into something more affordable. I know, everyone wishes they can keep on living in the house they have had for over 50 years.

I assume you are paying the monthly mortgage payments until you Mom can get back into the working world. What happens if she can't due to her injury? Will you continue paying the mortgage until it is paid off in two years? Plus real estate property insurance, homeowner's insurance, etc? That's a lot to ask for on your part. But I can understand you helping her out.

What kind of rehab did your mother have after the break in her shoulder had healed? I am going through that right now, going 3 times a week, for the next 2 or 3 months.
