Not something I'm looking forward to. I understand some newer models can be externally recharged. Wish I had one. Best wishes for tomorrow.

My battery life was just over 8 years last time it was checked, then a conversation with another cardiologist suggested the drugs I currently take won’t stop another cardiac arrest. I might be getting my battery changed sooner than I thought then.

I’m sure it’ll be cool as I was awake when they put mine in. I bet I’ll be awake when they change the battery too!

Best wishes.
