  If you created the post through the main post editor in your blog’s dashboard at Posts ->Add New you might be able to recover it from a post revision or from the trash folder. See:

  http://en.support.wordpress.com/trash/#restoring-from-trash

  Always use the post editor in the dashboard to create new posts. Make sure the page loads completely before clicking any links and save your drafts regularly. An even safer option is to create your posts offline in a word processor or a blog editor like Windows Live Writer and then copying/importing it to your blog for final tweaks and uploads.

  I hope you’re able to recover it.
