Thank you.
Well, it feels a little like standing here with no clothes on, but since my ongoing onerous task is to keep myself from being pansy-assed as often as possible, you're welcome.
Connie, got to agree with Gar. Ageism is rampant, and it's vicious, due to job scarcity. It's like having to have a masters to flip burgers. Lines have to be drawn to eliminate multiple people to fill jobs, and age is one of those lines.
You may feel like glorying in that number, and it's well-earned. But you might want to exclude the workplace as a place to do that, just out of prudence.
Daniel--do you mean your meds for the month of May were ready early? Or that your current meds were filled early, and together so that you didn't have to wait for one of them? Or that your insulin was on a shelf and not refrigerated? I'll worry with or for you, I just need to be clear on what to worry about.
No, I meant "my." Typo, corrected.
And yes, the insulin was not refrigerated in the two days since the prescription was filled. Sitting on a shelf in the Walmart pharmacy.
Can you make them exchange it? They shouldn't be able to sell it. I'd make a stink. It can't be stable if it's supposed to have been refrigerated, and you're paying for meds that work as they're supposed to.
Yeah, Daniel, they should apologize profusely and replace it at no cost to you.
Apparently, their answer is "The Pharmacist says it should be Ok, do you want to talk with him?"
No, I really don't.
Some hope from Rx.com:
Storing unopened vials and cartridges: Keep in the carton and store in a refrigerator, protected from light. Unopened vials may also be stored at room temperature, away from heat and bright light.
Storing after your first use: Keep the "in-use" vials or cartridges at room temperature.
Bold is mine.
On a better note:

Why not just talk to the pharmacist?
Beverly, I think that is a pretty realistic view. Parenting isn't all love and light; it's damn hard work, and I think looking back and saying "I think I would have made a different choice about becoming a parent if I would have known more."
It doesn't mean you don't love your kids; it just means you see a different path that could have happened and you would have preferred much of it.
I think not too many parents have the courage to THINK something like this, because the stigma, it BURNS. I think it just means "I wish my life had followed a different path."
