Good news from the Roman Gemella Polyclinic. Pope Leon XIV recovers after surgery to remove the lower lobe of the right lung. The hospital's expected to take about a week.
Vatican sources indicate that the test results indicate average recovery and medical parameters stay normal. Leon XIV moves around the room, eats food and is in a good mood. He besides started respiratory physiotherapy.
Interestingly, this time, the pope does not occupy the papal infirmary rooms, where there were usually another heads of the Church. The reason is the renovation of the papal flat on the 10th floor, which forced the location of a venerable patient in another rooms, in the same wing of the hospital. The Pope's safety is under defender by 25 Vatican MPs, Swiss defender soldiers and Italian policemen. Officers patrol the floor, stairs and elevators, and Italian police safe the area around the building.
