The 79-year-old president’s strode onto the stage of a press conference on Sunday morning in a show that he was doing well following the head surgery.
Lula’s medical team said the surgery went well and that Lula would be able to walk and hold meetings as he rests in his home in the city of Sao Paolo until Thursday.
The leader’s doctors said international travel would be out of the question until further notice, but that he’d be able to travel to the country’s capital, Brasilia, if all goes well in a medical exam.
