I look like a Chipmunk!

We all have our health problems and I guess I am destined for teeth problems. I had a root canal done in high school that was not done properly and now this week I ended up looking like I had a golf ball in my jaw. When the new dentist tried to redo the root canal this last week there was an infection under the tooth and he ended up cutting my gum open and drilling through the bone to release the pressure... and then adding 6 stitches for the final touch. I know he said it will be completely healed in 4 months and the swelling should go down, but honestly what girl wants their Jaw huge...Some say I looked like Jay Leno or a chipmunk, but you can make up your mind for yourself. Adam was not able to witness this event this week due to work, so I thought I would take a picture of it.
