What Does A Whitish Muscle Like Strand Out Of Extraction Hole Indicate?

Had three teeth extracted yesterday. Noticed that a whiteish/yellowish strand that feels like a piece of muscle from meet is hanging out of my top right extraction hole. Scared to pull and anxious to leave too. Also been rinsing with luke warm salt water - very first rinse, one of the caps on my back right wisdom has come off! Can't see a dentist until next Thursday at the earliest. Not in too much pain. Diabetic, hypertension, high cholestorol and asthma. Female, 52, 163cm and overweight - working on this.
