iPhoto '09 Restore Unsorted, Blurry Photos - Help!

iPhoto '09
My hard drive was recently wiped clean at the genius bar after it failed. I back up my computer using Time Machine on an external harddrive automatically. I restored my harddrive with no problem, but realized none of my photos were restored. After looking at other threads, I used time machine to manually restore my old iPhoto to the blank one. That didn't work.
I have three main problems:
- None of the photos are sorted properly. Some of the original albums exist, but some don't.
- The albums are full of tiny "Faces" thumbnails, which are a pain to go through and delete.
- When I click to enlarge the photos, they are blurry
I am desperate to fix this. I know there must be a way- there has to be, because I cannot come to grips with losing all of my photos. Something troubling- my iPhoto library size is 2.67 GB, even though there are thousands of pictures in the library. I can't imagine that time machine would only back up the thumbnails. I hope someone can help me out. I'm pretty heartbroken right now.
