Pope Francisco began using a wheelchair at his public events to speed up the recovery of his right knee and not having to suspend activities, after the rest that the doctors indicated for the pain that has dragged on since the beginning of the year and for which he has undergone infiltrations.
The pontiff arrived this Thursday in a wheelchair, accompanied by one of his collaborators, to the scheduled audience in the Paul VI Hall of the Vatican with religious representatives of the International Union of Superiors General.
As explained in dialogue with journalists by papal spokesman Matteo Bruni, for the moment the Pope maintains his planned agenda for the coming days.
Jorge Bergoglio, 85, will reduce travel in the coming weeks to accelerate the recovery in the right knee, where an infiltration was made this Tuesday.
In fact, Francisco has had pain in his right knee since the beginning of the year, the product of a ligament problem that forced him to suspend hearings and give some speeches sitting down.
