Brazil's Bolsonaro discharged from hospital after gut blockage cleared

SAO PAULO (Reuters) -Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro was discharged from hospital on Wednesday, two days after being admitted with an intestinal obstruction, his latest health complication from a 2018 stabbing.

"Being discharged now. Thank you all," the far-right Brazilian leader posted on Twitter alongside a religious message and a photo of himself and his doctors giving a thumbs-up gesture.

Bolsonaro's doctor, Antonio Macedo, told reporters the president is recovered and ready to work, adding that he will be on a special diet during the weekend and will not be able to perform vigorous physical activities.

Bolsonaro, who has been in power since 2019 and plans to stand for re-election in a presidential vote scheduled for October, said he will maintain his regular agenda, including a trip to Russia in February.

It depends where the blockage was.
As the linked article stated it's most likely a result of him having been stabbed previously.

The blockage was actually a very serious matter which could have killed him.

Given his diet of garbage food, he should have had a heart attack or gut blockage by now.
