Lula's operation was a success and he is recovering favorably

Lula da Silva's femur operation was a success and he is recovering favorably. At the age of 77, the president of Brazil began walking and doing his physical therapy sessions at a hospital in Brasilia. According to the medical report, the president "passed the night well" and will remain hospitalized until Tuesday. Although the intervention was postponed from the end of 2022 for fear of giving an impression of fragility after winning the elections. The current leader of Brazil decided to carry out this operation due to severe hip pain, which led him to have the head of his right femur replaced with pieces of metal and porcelain that could guarantee mobility. The president "spent the night in a stable condition, walked during the morning and underwent physical therapy sessions. He remains hospitalized in a common room," according to the medical report released today. The medical bulletin is signed by the team of doctors Roberto Kalil Filho, Ana Germoglio and Giancarlo Polesello and does not mention hospitalization in intensive care. Lula took advantage of the anesthesia, according to Dr. Kalil, his personal doctor, to undergo surgery in addition to discomfort in his eyelid. The president of Brazil will be able to return to the official residence of the Alvorada Palace next week to resume his work, but Dr. Germoglio told the press that on the same Friday afternoon, after waking up from general anesthesia, Lula began asking on management and policy issues. At 77 years old, he must be in recovery without traveling for several weeks and work using a walker.
