You should be in the clear.

The blood clot forms and sets over the first 48 hrs after extraction. .

Maybe take it easy on the straws and tobacco products. If you partake that is.

They're no fun that's for sure.
I had a very similar experience

It was last weekend, watching the Mets-Braves series. Sounds like mine was more painful than yours, though.
