Priyanka said:   1 decade ago
I thought it would be then.

Ya priyanka is correct. I too go with her opinion.

Since is apt.

Since refers 'from that moment onwards she started recovering'.

I would prefer that 'then' is the most appropriate word as if we read it as a reported indirect speech.

Mohan said:   1 decade ago
Yes, I would also prefer, @Ragavanda said since is apt, but look at the gerund he had added, Recover"ing", but here it is recover"ed".
