oh Rachel, i know that situation would have made me furious and stressed to the max.
You have done all you can by calling the hospital and stuff.
I ate some jarred pesto a few weeks ago that was use by the 11/7/ 05!!!!! I was so cranky at myself for not checking the useby date. MIL gave it to us when she went on her diet and i was cranky at her too...
Everything seems fine.
I guess all you can do is be on the lookout and keep eating healthy.
Poor lovey. Thinking of you
