Happy to hear that you solved your problem
I was lucky enough to get a nail in both of my rear tires within a month of changing them
plug and patch quickly repaired that

Don't worry about the plug, they are safe when properly used. Driving on the tire without air could cause worries though. Depending on how far you went you may have compromised the integrity of the sidewall. I've seen tires after being driven without air even 1/4 to 1/2 of a mile, where the inside of the sidewall gets chewed up from the contact with the other interior tire surfaces. I would have your tire removed from the rim and checked on the inside to make sure you didn't damage it driving without air.
