Soldiers from the presidential guard take part in the ceremony to unveil the Brazilian flag in front of the official residence of the Alvorada Palace, where Brazil's President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva is recovering from surgery after being discharged from hospital, in Brasilia, Brazil, Sunday, Oct. 1, 2023.

A medical bulletin from Lula’s doctors earlier Sunday said that he had ascended and descended stairs with assistance. Recovery for hip replacement surgery varies from patient to patient, but most can resume light, day-to-day activities within three to six weeks, according to the American Academy of Orthopedic Surgeons. Many patients initially use a cane, crutches or a walker until balance and strength improve to avoid falls that could jeopardize the surgery’s success, the orthopedic organization said.
