Convalescence

Convalescence refers to either the gradual recovery of health after disease, illness or surgery, or the period of time between illness and recovering to full health. To convalesce means to grow stronger.

Traditionally, the period of convalescence depended on the length and severity of the illness, and involved a combination of:
 * rest, often including some strict bed rest
 * exercise
 * nutrition
 * often a change of scenery was involved, such as a convalescent home or a stay at a spa
