Pope Francis was extremely happy to
get the news that he is to be discharged after a bout of
pneumonia from a Rome hospital back to the Vatican Sunday and he
has never lost his sense of humour, his doctors told reporters
Saturday.
"He was very happy, he had been asking us for three or four days
when he could go home". the doctors treating the 88-year-old
Argentine pontiff at Gemelli Hospital described his reaction
today to the announcement that he will be released from the
hospital tomorrow.
"As for his mood during this period - observed Prof. Sergio
Alfieri - certainly when he was in more pain maybe he reacted
less.
"But then when we went to listen to his chest and asked him how
he was and he answered 'I'm still alive' we understood that he
was still well and had also regained his good mood".
