had to go to the hospital ER and couldn't get back for a few days the pork shoulder is covered in Mustard and a peppery rub. Is it done for or can I smoke and hope for the best?

Was it in the refrigerator? Does it have any off-smell? If you don't trust it, toss it. One pork shoulder is not worth another trip to the ER for food poisoning!

If it was in the refrigerator, I don't see why it wouldn't be any good.
I would smoke it!

You could even rinse it off and put a new light layer of fresh rub on it. After it's rinsed and patted dry you could smell if it's funky.

Yep. If it were me I'd check it for off smell and if none I'd smoke it.
Hope the trip to ER fixed your problem.

Agreed go for it any off smell that you don't notice will show up when you start to heat it.

Golly, I regularly cook meat that has been in the fridge for several weeks, although I keep my fridge below 35. Given that you have mustard on it (a little vinegar is a nice preservative), I wouldn't worry at all.

just touch it and check if its not slithery and don't stinks. I believe if its marinated you can keep it few days in fridge. Don't worry should be fine.
