Faustao On Tuesday, the 19yearold revealed he had broken a rib following a heart transplant. The presenter spoke about the topic in an interview with the podcast O Programa de Todos os Programas.
In the video, he explained that the fracture was unrelated to the surgery he underwent in August. In fact, this happened after his recovery process.
“Now I can do whatever I want. I had some problems afterward, nothing related to the surgery. Twice to get in the car. What do you do to get into the car? You first climb into the body and then into the legs. Fool here.” When he started to think he was okay, he put one leg up and threw everything [o peso] in the other. The other failed and I fell to the ground,” he reported.
“It's true, it's 40 centimeters from the car to the ground. Double. Then there is a broken rib, these little things that hindered the rehabilitation with physiotherapy. The heart is not a problem. I had no rejection,” he explained.
