it's an elective but needed surgery, can only put off so long until the existing battery runs out of power. so this will be about 7-1/2 years on this unit.

more later as I know more. i know i'll need some blood work as i get closer to the date. don't like giving my blood. yeah, i've done that.

Been through it twice third time in a few years
