I usually back my vehicle out of the garage, walk back in, lower the door, pull the garage door opener power plug out, screw a couple of bolts into the door track for good measure and exit via the front door when I'm leaving on a long trip.
Then I only have to worry if I locked the front door!
In my area, newly purchased garage door openers must have a battery backup.
This seems crazy to me also. Why must I have a battery? If there is a power outage I can raise or lower the door by hand. A battery is just another thing to go bad.
BTW, when my opener broke, I diagnosed it to a relay in the opener's electronic board. The relay wasn't made anymore and it had a unique footprint so I couldn't easily substitute it with another relay. I found some guy on eBay re-manufacturing boards, so he sent me a replacement board and I sent my old one back in exchange.
My Genie Blue Max is close to 30 years old and still opening my garage door.
I'm 54 and stricken down by terminal cancer.
I remember reading this article about terminal cancer survivors. The below one in particular. It almost seemed like he got a bad case of food poisoning and it revved up his immune system to knock out his cancer.
I always feel lousy after an immunization. Would getting vaccinated for small pox or yellow fever or some other fell disease to get the immune system to go on the hunt?

"Charles Burrows Mesa, Ariz. 59 years old Liver cancer
The story:
Charles Burrows noticed a strange lump on his stomach in the summer of 2005. By November, the pain was so bad it felt like a knife was stabbing him in the stomach. A biopsy confirmed his worst fears: He had inoperable liver cancer. His tumor was the size of a baseball and was already starting to strangle the portal vein going into the liver. Doctors at the Phoenix Veteran Affairs (VA) told Burrows, then 56, that they had no treatment and he had just a month or two to live.
Burrows is among a tiny handful of patients whose tumors go away on their own. Burrows developed abdominal bloating, shaking, chills and nausea in February 2006. Soon after that, he noticed that the lump on his stomach was gone. When he went back to the VA, doctors were flabbergasted when computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging scans showed no sign of cancer. The case was so unusual that his doctors published it in a medical journal last year. Says Burrows: "I won a lottery, and I don't understand why." While numerous explanations have been proposed for these mysterious remissions, one of the likeliest is that the body's immune system gets involved."
