bye (bottom) wisdom teeth

On saturday I got my bottom teeth wisdom teeth removed and now I literally look like a chipmunk/Glen Quagmire/a huge baby face. I got it done during the evening and it took about an hour and since I was only getting my bottom two removed, I got it done at my dentist. During the procedure the only things painful were the injections to numb my mouth (especially the second injection!!! probably bc I was expecting it or whatever) so yeah that didn't feel good especially since I have a huge fear of needles and I've never gotten an injection without freaking out and ending up dizzy/light-headed/shaky/passed out and this was no exception. After my dentist injected the numbing stuff, I had to sit there for a bit for the numbing to take full effect and during that time I got really shaky but then I drank some water and I was okay after that. During the procedure I was listening to music (I made a playlist hehe) with my eyes closed the entire time because I didn't want to see the blood (haha I'm such a pussy). It was weird because I could feel the pulling and I could hear him cracking the wisdom teeth to get them out but it was painless. Afterwards when I got home I took antibiotics and painkillers and surprisingly I didn't bleed very much. I think I only used up 3 of those pieces of gauze for each side and even then it was soaked more with saliva and stuff than blood. It was cool to not feel my lips and mouth and tongue and stuff and then I went to bed earlier at around 11:30 before the numbing wore off. I ended up waking up at around 1:30 and I guess by then the numbing wore off because my mouth was in pain!! sO I took some more painkillers and tried to go back to sleep but the painkillers took forever to work and I couldn't sleep because of the pain. But I ended up falling asleep I think before 3am. Then I woke up again at around 5:30 I think from the pain because apparently I'm supposed to take the painkillers every 4 hours only if it's painful bc my dentist said if I take too many it could make me pass out. So I took another and then I laid there until 6 and then I took my antibiotics (i'm supposed to take it every 8 hours). I spent most of yesterday sleeping. I went back to bed after that and slept until 11 or so and I got up and went on the computer for a bit and ate. Idk why but I had a headache and my body felt really weak/sore/tired like I was sick or something. I felt so shitty and on top of that, my cheeks had swollen up so much and I looked so ugh. So I went back to bed and slept until 4 or 5 and then I got up and ate some ice cream bc I was feeling shitty and then I had to do homework and whatever. so basically yesterday was pretty much shitty. Today I feel better, like I dont feel sick anymore but my cheeks feel tender and they're still really big. I keep getting this urge to bite on something??? That makes me sound like a teething baby lol but anyway I was actually hoping that I would still feel sick today so I didn't have to go to school, but since I felt better I had to go. I had never felt so self-conscious in my life when I was at school today. I wore a beanie today which I barely ever wear only because it kept my hair kinda against my face to cover my cheeks and I also tried to contour but it didnt really help. I honestly couldn't look at anyone in the eye and I was mostly looking down when I was walking around campus. I think that to the ppl I know, it just looks like there's something weird about my face, but to strangers I just look like someone w/ a really fat baby face. Anyway here are some horrendous pics xoxo


I suppose from an angle it doesn't look too too toooo bad but if you see my face straight on it's like hOLY shit
