He also stated that on the second day after her operation, “she is recovering with no complications,” and is “able to eat and sleep adequately.”

“The President rested well throughout the night, and she is able to eat adequate meals. She is recovering from the operation without complications,” explained the Government spokesman, on Fernández de Kirchner’s second full day of recovery.

The medical team in charge of looking after the President, headed by Pedro Saco, stated that for the second consecutive day the “medical controls and blood tests” carried out came up with “normal results.”

Scoccimarro further stated that the President, once discharged from the Austral Clinic in Pilar, where she underwent an operation for thyroid cancer two days ago, will return to the Presidential residence in Olivos, Buenos Aires Province.
