walking up a hill requires more effort than walking down a hill. So moving uphill is hard, downhill is easy. So when it comes to effort you hope its all going to go downhill i.e. smooth sailing.
Sometimes people use downhill to imply rapidly declining like her health is going downhill.
I guess it just depends on the context.

You got a fast car
But is it fast enough so you can fly away
You gotta make a decision
You leave tonight or live and die this way

Uh, do I have metaphor issues? "Downhill" seems like getting worse to me. What's the usual use of the term?Oh..kinda like Princess said. In my mind, I was picturing that we (you) were wishing her a trek UP a hill rather than DOWN one...and I was thinking walking or bicycles or UP meant a lot more effort.
But, no, we don't want anyone's health to "go downhill" either. No wonder English is such a difficult language! lol
Thats fabulous news!!! I know only to well how scary post op complications are and how desperate you can feel. I am so glad she is on the road to recovery now!! give her my best wishes!
