Because there is more than one way to say the same thing!

Thursday: She’s convalescing.

Remember we started on Monday w/We’re on the road to recovery!

We continue Thursday w/She’s convalescing.

Example!

I agree 100%. We need to learn how to convalesce. I feel restless and terrible when I am sick. My focus is on getting back to work. I’m nervous about what I’m missing. It’s crazy. It’s living on the clock. Convalescing should be encouraged! She’s convalescing! She’s reading a good back and eating healthy food.

She’s convalescing.

She’s convalescing. She’s convalescing.

Have a good one!

Katie

He’s getting better! His condition is getting better. An athlete needs to stay in top form. Japan loves Nishikori-san. He is inspiring and fun to watch. It’s miserable to be a tennis player and have an injury. He’s getting better!

He’s getting better!

So, my father is in the hospital and he’s doing better. He’s got, uhm, therapy he needs to do (which is a great thing). He’s a very good patient. He has patience and he’s a patient. Haha. Sorry. I’m a bit of a nut these days. Uhm! But we are on the road to recovery. We’re not recovered yet. Not 100%. We’re on the road to recovery! So, this week we’re working with, “We’re on the road to recovery!”
