If you had five impacted wisdom teeth, that's a lot of dental work.
My mouth hurt for a solid week when I had four done. I woke up one morning surprised that the pain had gone away pretty suddenly ...but this was 30 years ago, so things may have gotten better.
The holes will be healed over before the doc takes the stitches out. Don't start eating hard pretzels, though, you could re-open them. It'll take quite a while for the gums to get all smooth.
Before you go to the docs, write down every question you have. I type them up and hand the doctor a copy. Otherwise, I forget 90% of them. It's goofy, but it works.
I dont know about the stitches. He didnt say. I can see them in my mouth though. The end of one is sticking out. I got to go back in two weeks. Could that be to have the stitches taken out??
New question: How long does it take for extraction holes to close/filled up?
