Pele recovering well: walking, sitting up and with no feve

Brazilian soccer legend Pele

 Brazilian football legend Pele continues to recover
well from a urinary tract infection that has kept him in hospital for
over a week, and while he remains in semi-intensive care he can walk
and sit up without problems, hospital authorities said on Wednesday.
Sao Paulo's Albert Einstein hospital said there was to be no need for
the three-time World Cup winner Pele to have haemodialysis again. A
kidney treatment had been applied Thursday and suspended Sunday.
The hospital said Pele had no fever, walked about his room and spent
"a large part of the day sitting in an armchair."
However, no specific date was mentioned for the release of the
74-year-old from hospital.
Pele was readmitted on November 24 with a urinary infection. He had
previously been released on November 15, after having kidney stones
removed.
Brazilian media said that Pele has only one kidney, after having the
other one removed in 1977, while he was playing in the United States
for the New York Cosmos. Neither the football legend's family nor his
doctors have confirmed that, however.
