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

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
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
Today, I finally started feeling better after getting a tooth pulled last week. I also started something else: my period, while I was stuck in the dentist's chair during my follow-up appointment. FML
Today, my girlfriend got her wisdom teeth removed. I really want to help her out while she recovers, but her swollen cheeks combined with her natural buck teeth keep making me crack up every time I see her. I can't help it and I'm now in the doghouse. FML
Today, I became that small percent of people who face three different kinds of complications after their wisdom teeth are removed. FML
Today, I got my wisdom teeth removed. My girlfriend had agreed to come over after and make sure I was okay, so I called her, saying I was done. She told me she'd made new plans, and to "just suck on a tampon, you pussy". FML
Today, it's been seven days since I had my wisdom tooth removed, under guidance from both a doctor and a dentist to help with frequent headaches. The dentist cut open my cheek during surgery, which got infected, and now I also have dry socket. My mouth is causing me agony, and so are my headaches. 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 got my wisdom teeth removed and took the pain medicine that the oral surgeon prescribed for me before bed. The pain actually did go away for the most part, until my stomach decided to betray me and make me throw up, forcing my jaw to open more than it could after surgery. FML
Today, I had my wisdom teeth taken out. I vaguely remember telling the doctor that I'm a virgin. Several times. FML
Today, my boyfriend, who I haven't seen in months because we live in different countries, is coming to stay with me. I've been the picture of health for months, but today I woke up with my period, a terrible cold, and tooth pain from that root canal my dentist told me I didn't need a few years ago. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Clearly it isn't totally back to normal yet.

Maybe the swelling hasn't completely gone down and that's why he was asking. That kind of stuff happens -- the body reacts differently. No reason to get upset. Just ask him how bad it looks, and if it's been a while, go to the doctor. You probably just got used to it.

umm... didn't he know what you looked like before the operation?

#11 Agreed. None of these girls will ever find the perfect man if that is what their line of thinking is like....not that the perfect man exists. But some come close.

...well, this makes me feel good. I'm getting mine taken out next week. At least I don't have a boyfriend to make fun of me, I guess. But really...he probably didn't pay much attention to you if he doesn't even know what you look like.

Maybe she gained weight? And the weight showed up on her face?

maybe he just meant so it won't hurt when he kisses you and stuff. Guys aren't that observant anyway so he won't know if its completely gone down or not without asking.

#5 - I think the correct answer should be: DON'T dump him, BECAUSE men are stupid. He couldn't help it. He just never really looked before! Poor guy.

Your face probably isn't back to normal yet and you just don't notice because you see yourself everyday in the mirror so you got used to it... When my husband got his wisdom teeth taken out it took at least a good 3 weeks for the swelling to COMPLETELY be gone...

Find a guy who thinks your face is normal when it is normal.
