Eh. I know that problem. I cannot advise, sorry, but I am thinking of you.
Best thoughts are on the way, nekowafer.

Unsure how I feel about that.

How do you feel about your aunt, for starters? And any other deaths in your near family?
pwhodges:
@BeoPuppy: How old is your aunt, that's to say, is her getting something like cancer an unexpected change, or is it more that the way to the end is now clearer?
Not sad in the same way, but a little nostalgia inducing: In the 1960s a large coal-fired power station was built in the countryside at Didcot, near Oxford. I visited the second phase of this construction during building as part of my university engineering course, to learn about new-fangled things like air scrubbers to clean the exhaust. These units can no longer meet the EU's latest environmental emission requirements, and today they were taken off the grid and shut down for the last time. The six cooling towers will be demolished, though it may be a year or three before that happens - an attempt to get them listed (put on a list of protected buildings) has been successfully blocked by the generating company that owns the plant. In 1968 I took a photo of them against the sunset, but time has not been kind to the cheap reversal film I used:
That photo was taken from the road between my home town of Reading and Abingdon where my fiancée lived, when I was on my way to see her one weekend.

Percy got through surgery okay, but needed a second repair for a monteggia fracture. Which will cost more money. But he will heal and will be all better in a couple of months.

Akima:
I had to look it up. I couldn't find a reference to such a fracture in a cat. Rank speciesism! Don't watch the clip if you are squeamish about broken bones going crunch://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yCJhQe3wLYM
