As Helen Ramsdale
notes, Canadians seem a bit mystified by the idea of convalescence.
She writes: ” Canadians… seem to have been brought up to believe that
one is either acutely sick or well, and the progress from sick to well
occurs when one gets out of bed.” I must admit I am a bit mystified by the
concept of convalescence myself, and I have yet to find any good
instructions on how to make that gradual transition from being sick to
being healthy, but I’ll keep looking.
