(noun) The
day after a sickness you contracted has finally subsided, but you are not sure if you should go back to
work/school. In essence, a free
day where you could go but you "don't think your up to it".
He told me he was feeling better. I guess he's just taking a recuperation
day.
What a dickweed: his recuperation
day has turned into a recuperation week. I'm stuck with all his
work now. Lazy ass bastard.
