Brazil's President Lula is back and better! 🎉 After a second successful brain procedure on Thursday morning, he's awake, speaking, and on the road to recovery, according to his doctor.
Earlier this week, Lula underwent emergency brain surgery to drain bleeding between his brain and the protective membrane—a condition linked to a fall he had in late October at the presidential residence. Doctors at São Paulo's Sirio-Libanês Hospital worked for about two hours on Tuesday to address the issue.
On Thursday, they performed a middle meningeal artery embolization—a fancy way of saying they took steps to prevent any future bleeding. \"The procedure was successful. We managed to embolize that artery,\" Dr. Roberto Kalil Filho shared enthusiastically. More details are expected at a press conference scheduled for later today.
The whole incident started when Lula complained of a headache on Monday while in Brasília. Thankfully, his medical team confirmed he suffered no brain damage, and he's expected to be back on his feet and out of the hospital next week! 💪
Sending good vibes and wishing President Lula a speedy recovery! 🌟
