Maybe long term was a bad choice of words. I was referring to it not being a “life long” drug overall - the max time from what I’ve been told medically is “up to 10 years” with 3 being pretty common. I’m on it by the way.

Some sources say it could be lifetime. It’s up to 10 years now because that’s the extent of the testing so far.

Boat update:
There is not and was not ever an issue with the generator. This is why the mechanic said it was fine. It was user (Bob’s) error. Some switch something on the back he needed to do first (the choke?? I have no boat knowledge). His son showed him what to do when they went Saturday. So, idk if Bob is unfamiliar with this type of generator (it’s new) or if he is forgetting how to start it because he is having memory issues. 
However, on late Friday afternoon, someone at the marina reported that Bob’s boat was sinking! He called his son who contacted someone who saved the boat from sinking by pumping out all the water. In mil’s words, the toilet, “blew up.” Apparently it isn’t/wasn’t being dumped enough??Per mil: “It has a tank that has to be pumped out periodically. If not, it explodes and causes water to go into the boat.” And, supposedly, Bob has the management at the marina on a schedule to take care of that??
Yuck

As they say, a boat is a hole people pour money into.

Oh gosh. Terrible event but it has the potential for so many jokes being the whole boat thing is such a sh_tty situation! 
But seriously, this seems like a terrible mess to have to clean up.

Wanting to make sure you didn’t find a Bob at your reunion …

Most likely there were leaking valves or hoses from the toilet that allowed water into the boat and were letting water into the hull and sinking it. Oftentimes caused by age. But if a valve goes I guess it could be viewed as an “explosion”. Not necessarily a “messy” job.

It’s so hard to know exactly what happened when neither she nor I know anything mechanical!

Then add the unreliable reporting by Bob!

She did say in the future they needed to pumP out the toilet more frequently?? 
I don’t think that would sink a boat. They must have water coming into the boat somehow. Hopefully someone at the marina knows what they are doing since it seems like Bob doesn’t!

All I know is that mil says the toilet, “exploded,” which caused water to come in.
I think I read something about if the toilet itself is below the water line??
First of all, YUCK!
Secondly, gee…sure makes you want to go out on Bob’s boat with him now, doesn’t it?
You couldn’t pay me enough money to go out on a boat with him as captain!
Third, he should rename the boat “Money Pit.”

I think everyone who owns a boat would call it a money pit.
There’s a saying. The happiest days of owning a boat are the day you buy it and the day you sell it.

Usually at the water line. Over time the the hoses can just decay from age --same with valves. Everything great until it isn’t-- just the same as an old hose or o-ring at your house or on your car. Glad somebody caught it. Not a failing on Bob’s part. Maintenance issue.

Maybe next time the boat takes in water, it will be nighttime and no one watching. I’m sorry, but this ship seems like an albatross, especially for a person who can’t see nor hear and has very limited memory.

I’m going to burn in hell for saying this, but it kind of feels at this point like Bob is hanging onto the boat for bragging rights.
