So with the exception of obsessing over which card to get its a pretty happy experience as my camera seems much happier afterward on all accounts. Its the next best thing to getting a new camera. So just get a new card. Maybe a better one. Maybe a bigger one. Maybe a faster one. But instead of paying less money as they have gotten way cheaper. Pay the same or a bit more. Its easy to talk yourself into thinking your pictures are looking better as result.
