It was even better because this occurred right in the middle of me looking for a job. Yeah, that's exactly what I need; showing up to interviews with my cheeks puffed up like I'm storing up nuts for the winter.
After realizing that the pain was not something I wanted to live with for much longer, I gave into the idea of doing the surgery. During the consultation with the oral surgeon, he explained to me that there was a slight chance of my mouth being numb after the surgery, and that this could last for a day, a week, a month...or be permanent.
Hmmm, that sounds awesome.
On the left, that's me not being able to move the left side of my mouth. On the right, I'm vigorously icing my cheeks to prevent them from puffing out and resembling those of a chipmunk.
Don't let my expression fool you. I'm in extreme pain. My mouth is just paralyzed so you can't tell.
Needless to say after the weekend was over I ended up going on several job interviews and I guess my ice packs did the trick: no chipmunk cheeks! Win was really sad because she was hoping to have hilarious pictures of me. Boy did I prove her wrong. Booyah!
