Brazilian President, Jair Bolsonaro who is currently undergoing medical treatment for an obstructed intestine has said he will be ‘back in action soon’.
Gatekeepers News had reported that the 66-year-old president was transferred to Vila Nova Star hospital in Sao Paulo on Wednesday after he endured 10 days of chronic hiccups.
Bolsonaro’s health condition was believed to be a consequence of the 2018 knifing he suffered. He was stabbed in the intestines on the campaign trail and nearly died, the attack required multiple follow-up operations.
In an update on Friday, the Brazilian leader tweeted a stern-faced photo of himself in a hospital corridor with a drip attached to his neck. 
“Back in action soon, God willing!” he wrote. “We’ve done a lot, but we still have a lot to do for our Brazil!”
Gatekeepers News reports that Bolsonaro’s doctors in a statement on Thursday said they had removed a gastric catheter from him and that he would begin eating again on Friday.
Eduardo Bolsonaro, the President’s legislator son, disclosed in a video published on Telegram that doctors had removed “close to one litre (a quarter of a gallon) of liquid” from his father’s stomach that was caused by the obstruction, considerably alleviating the pain.
Another son, Senator Flavio Bolsonaro, said his father had been “intubated as a precaution” when he was taken to the hospital in Brasilia.
The President’s doctors have not given hinted on when he will be discharged.
