For a while after transistion I walked around with a feeling that something was missing. I knew it wasn't the old flesh but it took me a while to figure it out - it was the inner pain.
I think we live with the confusion and hurt for so long it becomes normal for us. When they're gone we feel like something's not quite right. It takes us a while to realize that we're okay now and living in agony isn't normal, and the trouble we took to escape the torment was well worth it.
Still, I wouldn't mind having all that money back. ;-)
