The 79-year-old attended a press conference at São Paulo’s Sírio-Libanês hospital with his medical staff.
“This is just a thank-you session; it’s not an interview. First and foremost, I want to thank God for his incredibly wonderful care of me,” he remarked.
Lula complained of a really bad headache on Monday, so he was sent to the hospital.
To stop the bleeding and ease the pressure, doctors operated on the president by performing a craniotomy, which involves surgically removing a portion of the skull’s bone. After that, the bone is swapped out.
He suffered a knock to the head when he fell in his bathroom at the presidential mansion in October, which resulted in the cerebral hemorrhage, or brain bleed.
