SAO PAULO (Reuters) – Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva said on Tuesday he might need to undergo surgery in October to treat chronic femoral pain.
Lula said in a live broadcast on social media he was getting “physically ready” for the operation, adding his doctor told him that it would be a short-stay surgery.
“I want to have this surgery done. I don’t want to be in pain,” Lula said.
