Wisdom teeth removed, dislodged blood clot after 10 days, do I have dry socket?

I had my wisdom teeth removed 10 days ago& have been so careful doing everything I have been told to do worried about dislodging the blood clot & getting dry socket & I've finally been starting to feel better & haven't been needing any pain medication anymore but tonight I was feeling really nauseous as the antibiotics make me nauseous & was sick. When I was sick I felt something come out the hole then saw something I thought straight away is the blood clot. It was thick, jelly like, slug looking dark red purplish. I'm 100% sure it was the blood clot as I hadn't eaten anything that colour it could've been, I did feel it come from the hole, it's long enough to fill the socket of a tooth & root which was extracted & from what I've read online it's definitely the blood clot & that area does feel different, not painful but like something missing, something in the others that isn't in this one. I'm so scared of getting dry socket coz I read it excruciating. It isn't hurting NOW but my question is, will it? or will I be ok? Coz I read it happens when the clot is dislodged 3-4 days post op but mine was 10 days ago so has mine healed enough for it to not cause dry socket? Or will I still definitely have dry socket now. Will it take a while for this excruciating pain to come on? Or if it was going to happen would it have hurt straight away? Shouldn't it have bled when the clot was dislodged? Because it didn't. So scared of what pain I might be in for. :(
