it always comes back to privilege and wealth. Even if my parents house had space for a bed for me to occupy they're blue collar. And people wonder why so many people are depressed and impoverished. Only takes a second to fall below the poverty line and getting back above it is nearly impossible.

Not a vet but I've had many cats with health issues over my lifetime. Risks of anesthesia increase with age - dealing with that with my current cat. Also it's never recommended to do what we'd call for humans "cosmetic surgery". If your cat isn't bothered by it and there's no pain, leaving it alone was likely the best choice.

Damnit! I was hoping for an insightful, genius answer to the healthcare dilemma. I'm stuck with... 2 rare and incurable conditions plus 2 more common incurable conditions and even with insurance pay thousands a year. For profit healthcare needs to die. I'd move to a different country if I had any of the limited skills that one has to possess for most countries to let you stay longer than a few months. I really should have sucked it up and been miserable learning programming so I could get the fuck outta here and stop living a miserable life. /rant

Not a vet but it's definitely worth a vet trip. Could be bleeding internally and it's pooling. Honestly I wouldn't wait until Monday, I'd go to an emergency vet.

Curious, what made you switch? Both why did you decide to stop using MySQL and why did you choose PostgreSQL to replace it?
