the slow, unglamorous business of becoming someone your old self wouldn't recognize.
means The process of returning to a normal state of health, strength, or function after illness, injury, loss, or setback — whether of a body, an economy, or a person.
from From Latin recuperare, 'to regain or get back,' which gave Old French recoverer and then Middle English recoveren. The same root grows the more genteel word 'recuperate.' That recuperare splices re- ('again') with capere ('to take, to seize') — so at heart, recovery is the act of taking yourself back, piece by piece, from whatever took you.
