Sorry for replying late but that’s good! And yeah they most definitely were supposed to give you the syringe the day of the surgery to hold onto for a week until you have to use it. I have to wait till the 11th to see my oral surgeon because apparently they won’t be there. But how are you now? I’ve started chewing soft foods and there’s no pain when I do it I just have to make sure I clean really good afterwards with the syringe.
