From IOL News, South Africa:
Archbishop Emeritus Desmond Tutu is recuperating at home after recently suffering from a slipped disc, his office said on Thursday.
"Tutu is recuperating at home after suffering from a prolapsed in[ter]vertebral disc over a week ago," a statement read.
Tutu was taken to hospital and advised by doctors to lie flat on his back for a week or two.
"He is in good spirits, albeit in some discomfort, and will be back on his feet soon."
Last month Tutu was awarded the United States Presidential Medal of Freedom by President Barack Obama at the White House. Tutu dedicated his award to all South Africans who fought the country's struggle for freedom and justice.

Arch Bishop Tutu also has prostate cancer, as I do. That's bad if one doesn't block it in time. Prayers for him!

ReplyDeleteThank you all! I hope it was in time, but who really knows. It seems to be a much disregarded area.
