ππ Papa Francis Goes Under the Knife Again! ππ
TL;DR;π: Pope Francis, the spiritual skipper of 1.3 billion Catholics worldwide, is heading back to the OR for an abdominal operation to deal with an intestinal blockage. This comes two years after a major colon removal surgery. He’ll be riding his legendary Fiat 500, because, why not? ππ
“Scalpel!” “Clamp!” “Holy water?” Yes, folks, it’s round two for Pope Francis, who’s trading in his papal robes for a hospital gown as he faces another surgery, this time for an intestinal blockage. The Vatican announced that the 86-year-old pontiff will be getting general anesthesia for the procedure. Now, isn’t that some “holey” anesthesia for you? π₯π
Remember that fancy Fiat 500 car? Well, it’s off the parking lot and on the road to Rome’s Gemelli hospital. It seems that the Pope’s abdominal problems are back with a vengeance, a pesky hernia formed over a previous scar getting in the way of his popely duties.πΌπ¨
While the Vatican didn’t give us all the deets, they did say that the laparotomy (a term that basically means “abdominal surgery”) is to treat a “recurrent, painful and worsening” constriction of the intestine. “Recurrent”? “Painful”? “Worsening”? Man, this isn’t looking like your typical Sunday sermon.π¬π¨
Despite the drama, Francis remains at the helm of the Vatican and the 1.3-billion strong Catholic Church, even while unconscious. Talk about dedication to duty. But it does make you wonder, is he going to run the Church from his hospital bed? π€π
After his previous surgery in 2021, which removed 33 centimeters of his colon (not a measurement we usually deal with here at Turnt Up News), the Pope was all for the food party, claiming he could eat whatever he wanted. But apparently, the general anesthetic from that operation didn’t sit well with him. And this time, his upcoming travel schedule seems to have left him with little choice but to face the knife again.βοΈπ
As we know, Pope Francis is a fighter. He had part of one lung removed when he was a young man, suffers from sciatic nerve pain, and was recently treated for bronchitis. But despite all that, he’s still Pope-ing around, doing his thing. But with a jam-packed itinerary, including trips to Portugal and Mongolia, will his health issues slow him down? Or will he continue to ride his Fiat to the ends of the Earth?ππ€·
While this is serious business, folks, we can’t help but smile at Pope Francis’ tenacity. And if the sight of that Fiat 500 rolling out of the Vatican doesn’t bring a grin to your face, well, we don’t know what will. But in all seriousness, is it time for the Pope to slow down, or is he right to power through, keeping his commitments despite his health concerns?ππ¨
And for all you die-hard Turnt Up News fans out there, we have to say it: This isn’t financial, legal, or health advice, and we don’t recommend trying to perform your own laparotomy at home. What do you think, fam? Should the Pope take it easy, or keep rolling in his Fiat? π€β¬οΈ
