Today, I had two of my wisdom teeth removed. One side of my face is completely swollen, and the other is normal. I feel like the elephant man. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I became that small percent of people who face three different kinds of complications after their wisdom teeth are removed. FML
Today, my boyfriend asked me when my face was going to go back to normal after being swollen from having my wisdom teeth taken out last week. My face is back to normal. FML
Today, I had to get three teeth pulled. That would've been fine if they were all on the same side of my mouth. Nope, two were on the upper left and one on the bottom right. I kept thinking my upper lip was gauze it was so numb, and I kept drooling like a baby. I've barely been able to eat as it's so sore. FML
Today, I found out that instead of having four wisdom teeth, I have eight. They all have to be removed as soon as possible, which happens to be over the Christmas break. I get to spend my whole vacation in excruciating pain and a swollen face to boot. FML
Today, I woke up from my wisdom tooth surgery… while they were still sawing my jaw. I had such a bad panic response that they also cut my lip, so I have stitches inside and outside of my mouth, as well as the haunting crackle of bone being removed from my skull stuck in my head. FML
Today, after a year or more of suffering with wisdom tooth pain, I finally had all 4 removed a few days ago. Relief? No. I’m in more pain now than I’ve ever been, and I can’t even eat for comfort. FML
Today, I had my wisdom teeth pulled. The local anesthesia worked on three of the four teeth. I found out about the last tooth when the dentist was mid-yank. FML
Today, I got my wisdom teeth pulled. Apparently the medicines don't work on me. I woke up in the middle of the surgery and felt EVERYTHING. One of the nurses asked if I was okay, and the doctor just kept saying "Don't worry she's just dreaming", while tears were pouring down my face. FML
Today, the gums around my wisdom teeth are so badly swollen that I can't talk. I called a dentist to find out if I could see them for a removal. They told me to contact a surgeon, or go to the hospital emergency room. I have no insurance. FML
Today, I went to the dentist to get my wisdom teeth removed. The surgeon took a better X-ray to see what he was dealing with before he got started. When he came back into the room, he started to laugh and told me it was my lucky day because in the X-rays he found 2 big extra wisdom teeth. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Ugh!!! Dude, why did you have to post this?!?! I have a phobia of surgery and I've been dreading the removal of my wisdom teeth for YEARS! And now people are talking about some girl who died while getting her wisdom teeth removed?! Oh, ugh! Thanks, man.

I am also currently like this... Damn wisdom teeth aren't so wise when they hurt as much as this!

Almost everyone gets their wisdom teeth out- I got mine out when I was 18. The swelling will go down, no worries. I know it sucks but when all is said and done.... Well... You'll have less teeth. No idea why it's helpful to us lol but you can have funny stories about what you did while high on gas!!

I have a story for you to make you feel better! I got my 4 wisdom teeth removed 2 years ago after the holidays and the next day was my grand father's funeral. We had family coming from Florida and my little cousin who was sick passed his virus to my parents, sister and I. Because of the intervention, I didn't eat anything solid between Thursday and Sunday, which is the day we started to have symptoms... (Check comment)

We all started to vomit violently one after the other but the thing is that I had nothing left in my stomach and it was burning my open sores so bad because of the acidity. It was so intense that anything we would eat or drink would cause us to throw up so I wasn't even able to take my pain killers. On top of that, because I was so weak, I started to have 40 degrees of fever. We were all stuck in bed until Monday night and no one could even help me!

I know my story sounds disgusting, sorry lol! Everybody's face gets swollen after that intervention but it was really the last of my worries that day!! I tried to publish that story (shorter version) as a FML but they refused it about 10 times! :(

And if you guys wanna have a laugh, check out videos on YouTube of people after the surgery who have been drugged. That's hilarious!!
