Am I on my head or heels?

The skilled nursing facility near my parents DOES have room and the admissions director is expediting the process.  My dad is taking my mother for a back x-ray and (if the requisiton is available) a chest x-ray.  She needs the latter for the nursing facility.  He will then wait to hear the results of these and the bloodwork.  I talked to him and he told me that he is not sure that he wants to admit my mother to a facility.  I reminded him that she would get good pain management, that we would visit her, bring her flowers like we do at home and that it was the doctor's recommendation that my mother live in a care facility.   Ultimately  it is his decision, and I will help him whether he decides to admit my mother into skilled nursing or we have nurses come to the house.  The doctor, my sister and brother feel that my mother's condition warrants skilled nursing care

Good news though.  I called my sister.  Of course, I couldn't help but cry.  I'm wearing my emotions on my sleeve.  I apologized and at first she wouldn't budge an inch (don't blame her), told me that I wanted to do everything (not really),  said my brother would be the one to help my father decide.  She also had a good point.  My dad sees life in increments.  He would live to see the new millenium.  He would walk across the Mackinac bridge two dozen times.  My mother would live at home until Easter 2013.  I've done all that I can do.
