Ate pork sausages without knowing that the fridge was off

Hello,
I am stressing because I had some pork sausages today without knowing that my elderly dad had switched off the fridge last night... so the sausages had been in a slowly warming fridge overnight and up to lunchtime when I cooked them...
I have pretty bad anxiety over food so wondered if anyone has calming stories for me... or do I just have to prepare to get sick? My elderly dad also ate them...
Help!

I wouldn't worry. If you cooked them properly, they'd have been fine.

If they smelled and tasted fine then they were fine.

I are sausages that were two days out of date this morning. On purpose. Because they looked and smelt fine and I don’t like to waste food. Honestly , I wouldn’t give it a second thought, the fridge was sealed shut wasn’t it.

You'd be ill by now already I'm sure

Skinnermarink - well we opened it for breakfast so no, it wasn't sealed shut. But then it was closed for the rest of the morning... I do feel a bit sick but I may have whipped myself up a bit...

Even so, this will not be enough to make you ill.

Skinnermarink - your confidence is calming me! Thanks
