I'm on the mend

Hello natives !
When someone says "I'm on the mend",** is it the same as : I'm curing ?* Yes; exactly the same.
Thank you for your help !
Isabelle

*or, I'm recovering.

**attention: pas confondre avec "I'm round the bend" = je suis fou, or, I am insane.

Very well written! Soooo many colloquialisms....

thank you Jerry ! Native is only for certain categories ? :-) i'm a french native.... Have a good day !

I've never been called a 'native' before. : }

Hi Isabelle, Yes it means that someone is getting/feeling better or recovering.
