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.
Don't you just love this party? Everything's so fancy, and there's some kind of hot cheese over there.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

All is well that ends in pizza.
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.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
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.

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."

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
I think it's totally valid to say, "I might have been happier if I'd made different choices" and still say, "I love what I have now, that I would not have had making those other choices." Speaking, again, as a non-parent, I've made decisions that brought me a lot of pain and trouble, and while I can say I wish I hadn't done that, I have a lot of people in my life whom I cherish that I would not have had if I'd taken a different path (including my sister).
I can easily imagine that if I'd made a different choice a couple times back then, I could now be the parent saying the same thing Beverly said.
