Brazilian President Lula da Silva, who last Friday underwent two operations at the Sirio Libanes hospital in Brasilia, was discharged on Sunday afternoon local time in the early evening in Lisbon. Doctors’ initial assessment, considered the safest, was that Lula would remain in hospital until next Tuesday, October 3.
But Lula’s anxiety, even more anxious and irritable than usual, accelerated the rise. In a medical bulletin, the hospital lived up to expectations by saying Lula’s recovery had exceeded all expectations.
Back on Friday, when he had to remain in absolute peace after five hours under general anesthesia and two operations: one on the hip to implant a prosthesis and the other plastic surgery to reduce the volume of skin on the eyelids, Lula, as He woke up, insisted, and he had to be put to your feet, taking a few steps with outside help. This Saturday, also with the help of a team of physiotherapists and under medical supervision, the veteran politician, who turns 78 at the end of October, took a longer walk in a room next to his bedroom and began rehabilitation exercises. This Sunday, Lula moved to the next stage and, always with the help of medical workers, went up and down the stairs.
Lula always had a very hard time accepting being told what to do, so he took the initiative and skipped steps in the hospital, wanting to get out of there. And he left 48 hours after two surgeries without going to the intensive care unit, the intensive care unit where he was supposed to be taken after the surgeries, both as a precaution in case of any complications from the anesthesia and because of his age , but he didn’t accept it.
Now, at the Palacio da Alvorada, the official residence in Brasilia, Lula must comply with a series of medical recommendations for at least three weeks, during which he will have several restrictions, namely the ability to move only with the help of a walker or a special device. cane, landmarks, which caused him to start “turning up his nose” even before the operations were performed. From now on, the president will be able to return to the Palácio do Planalto, the presidential headquarters, but the first trip is not due until the end of November to attend the COP28 environmental summit in the United Arab Emirates.
