Well I had a little brain fart. I had been using my chest freezer/ferm chamber to store my kegs (at 37 degrees) the past few months and had my yeast in with them. Kegs all kicked so I let the ferm chamber warm back up to 55 in prep for a brew day. Forgot my yeast in there the past 7 days at 55 degrees until I realized it just now listening to Brew Strong.

I had White Labs American Ale , WLP 565, and White Labs Berliner Weisse stored.

I think I should be fine since 55 is still relatively low. Any precautions to make before using the yeast or am I potentially SOL?

Thanks for any help
 
That should be fine. It's not that warm, and only a week; just use it how you normally would, I'd say. If you do a starter, maybe start a day earlier than you otherwise would, or make it maybe 10 % bigger than you normally would, but I'd say even those steps are unnecessary.
