Environmental Health History-Health Equipment Use Needs to have an unknown selection

In the Health History section-Environmental History

Health Equipment: Example

Patient is on Oxygen or uses a walker but has no idea when they start using that device, there is no way to select that without putting in a "Began Use" date. This is impractical to be know for a patient that is has used something for years and has no idea when they started using something. Needs to be at the very least an Unknown selection for "Began Use"

    In the History of tobacco use section, you can identify the "Began Use" by Day, Month, or Year and this functionality would work well in the Health Equipment Section. For example say you have a 90 year old patient that has been on oxygen for 10 years, there is no way that they are going to know the exact day/month that they started using oxygen, but they may remember the year or close to the year. Same with any of the health equipment.
