Context: The pain I ' ve been living with for the last 7 months is GONE , and it 's been replaced with a good pain , the kind that lets you know your body is healing and recovering , the kind you KNOW is temporary . Which means mentally and emotionally , I ' ve been feeling much better as well . I already feel like my old self again , and my appetite has returned almost to it 's normal level . This morning , my Mom even commented on how the color has returned to my skin ( I ' ve still got my lovely Norwegian pallor , but it 's a life - like pallor now rather than the paraffin corpse pallor I was starting to show ) , and I do n't look as tired or skeletal as I had before .
