Use of 'convalesce'
Hi
Could you please tell me how the use of convalesce would sound to your native ears in everyday English?
Convalesce = recuperate
She is convalescing at home after the surgery.
Or
She is recuperating at home after the surgery.
Thanks,
Tom

convalesce - Sounds like it will be a rather slow process. The surgery was probably not minor. recuperate - OK but I don't hear that a lot.
