Sometimes I scare children at church and it just upsets me to think that I will look like a monster forever. I am not vain, please don't get me wrong. The first time I saw myself in the mirror post surgery I did not know who it was. I look better than that now, 7 weeks later. I'm sure that time will help, but so would some teeth!!
