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.

Um apparently not... he knows what you looked like before, during, and after.. you probably just notice more that you're looking better, but you probably aren't completely back to normal. No big deal, he's probably just worried about you

Most of the big scary swelling is gone after a week but your jaw can (and usually does) stay swollen for several weeks. You look better but...you're not there yet, that's all.

I say re-evaluate your relationship. When I got my wisdom teeth pulled, my boyfriend talked about how adorable I looked when swollen. That's what he should be doing. ;]

Wow, I'm not entirely sure what to say, except for that I don't think you should dump him over something like that. I agree that your face probably isn't back to 100% normal, and if you've been dating your boyfriend for a while, and he pays attention to these kinds of things, he could probably tell if it was totally back to normal or not. On a side note; it might not have been the best thing for him to say, but I doubt he meant anything mean by it. By the sounds of it, he was just innocently wondering. My boyfriend had his wisdom teeth pulled last year and it took a while for ALL of the swelling to go away. He only had 3 of them removed, so the one side was back to normal within a week, but the side where both wisdom teeth were removed stayed (slightly) swollen for about 2 1/2 weeks after he'd gotten them removed.
