This is indeed good news!
After going through a "scare" and spending time in intensive care because of a urinary tract infection, Brazilian soccer great Pele left the hospital Tuesday after a two-week stay.
Doctors said the 74-year-old Pele will continue his recovery process at home and will need to rest for about a week. He will also need to undergo physiotherapy to recover some of the muscle mass that he lost during the time he spent in the hospital.
"It was really a scare," Pele said in a news conference broadcast live on Brazilian television. "What happened was a surprise to me. I was worried, of course, but I never had any fears about dying."
The three-time World Cup champion said he is doing fine and joked that he will be ready to play for Brazil as one of the three over-23 players at the 2016 Olympics in Rio de Janeiro.
"Thanks to God everything is fine now. I have recovered," Pele said. "I'm already preparing for the Olympics."
