Unused implant: Doctor's advice

Most of you have probably not contemplated this question, but the time will likely come - due to infirmity, disease, or age - when you are no longer using your implant. I got my implant in 2008 but have never used it due to unrelated health issues. I asked Dr. Kramer whether I should just forget it's there, or if I should inflate it from time to time. His advice FYI:
I inflate mine for a few minutes when it occurs to me - maybe every 6 weeks or so - and it seems to be fine.My recommendation is to continue to cycle it every now and then, it will make sure that the space remains stretched and healthy.
