Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
And I am careful and prudent about taking them!

Yes, you deserve all the painkillers, but that means you have to post every day so we'll know you are okay. Loopy posting is also acceptable. I saw those x-rays and it hurt just looking at that break.

Loopy posting you shall have!
Thanks for worrying about me.

I tried to make a heart symbol but the board wouldn't let me.

Woo-hoo loopy posting! I'm so glad you found a well-recommended surgeon. And that you have an abundant yet prudent supply of painkillers. \\m/

Speaking of painkillers, if one had happened to hang on to a couple of bottles of hardcore useful preparations, how long do they remain useful? Even a half-strength hardcore useful preparation would still be useful, unless it's going to give me unpleasantness.

My guess is that the official expiration date is probably a year after they were dispensed. That said -- with the caveat that I don't have a pharmacy or medical degree (yeah, I know that everyone knows that, but we're talking about hardcore painkillers, so I just want to emphasize that this is not backed up by a PharmD or an MD) -- with old/expired meds, generally the worst that would happen is that they lose their effectiveness. They won't turn into something that harms you.
If it were me, with the old meds, the first thing I would do is make sure they don't smell bad/look funky (like the tablet shouldn't be crumbling to powder or changed color or have mold spots or suddenly have eldritch runes appear on it). And then, honestly, I would probably take it. But I'm pretty fucking cavalier about meds.
And about eldritch runes.
(Okay, as an example, I took Xanax that was at least 4 years old and it was fine and either placeboed the hell out of me or actually worked to relieve my anxiety.) (There were no runes on it, though.)

If eldritch runes suddenly appear in my vicinity, I have a shelf of books I can consult for dealing with them. Huh, looks like I got rid of Spiral Dance, but it was a bit too woo-woo anyway--which is probably a ridiculous thing to say about a book of magic.
