ROME.- Pope Francis, 86, entered the Gemelli Hospital today at 10:40 local time (05:40 in Argentina) for a control visitthe agency reported ANSA. A short time later, around 11:20 a.m., she left the place and at noon she was back at the Santa Marta residence, her house, in the Vatican.
The leader of the Church, who was hospitalized for four days in the same hospital at the end of March due to a severe pneumonia, would have been in the Aging Medicine Center of this polyclinic where the popes usually attend. Although according to the newspaper La Repubblica, which assured that the control “was already programmed”, it had to do with a nuclear medicine exam necessary to give information about internal organs and tissues.
In recent days Francisco appeared in relatively good condition. And on Tuesdays he usually doesn’t have audiences, it’s a kind of day off.
The last time he entered the Gemelli was on March 29 and it was a urgency. She must have gotten there by ambulance, after feeling unwell at the general audience on Wednesdays. Then the sudden hospitalization caused great alarm all over the worldor because some versions had spoken of a cardiac ailment, but finally, according to the same Pope told the journalists, it was a severe pneumoniawhich did not go to major because it was taken on time.
In an interview to Telemundo which he conceded on May 25, when asked about his sudden admission to Gemelli that day, the Pope admitted that “it was something unexpected” and reiterated that it was “acute pneumonia” that he caught during the audience.
“But we caught her in time, they told me; If we had waited a little longer, she would have been more serious”, he acknowledged. “No, I left in four days,” he later recalled, alluding to the fact that he was discharged in a short time and, thus, despite this hospitalization, he was able to preside over all the ceremonies of Holy Week, displaying an impressive recovery capacity .
When the journalist from Telemundo, Julio Vaqueiro, commented that he looked very good, Francisco answered with his usual Buenos Aires humor. “I’m already at that age where you have to say: ‘how good it looks’. It is the compliment to the old, ”he commented.
When speaking about another of the health issues that afflicts him, his right knee problem (for which he sometimes uses a wheelchair), the Pope confessed that, although his mobility had improved, he sometimes had moments of great pain . “(I am much better. I can walk now. The knee was mendingBefore, I couldn’t walk. Now I have walked again. There are days that are more painful, like today. But it is part of the development, ”she indicated.
