Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro incidentally lost his memory after hitting his head in a fall at his official home, he said in a meeting on Tuesday.
The 64-year-old slipped Monday night in a restroom at the Alvorada Palace, the most recent wellbeing alarm for the Brazilian chief who was injured in a blade assault in September 2018 while crusading for the administration.
"Right then and there I lost memory," he said of the fall.
"The next day, toward the beginning of today, I figured out how to get back a ton of things, and now I am fine," Bolsonaro said in a phone meeting with Band TV. "I didn't have a clue, for instance, what I did yesterday."
Bolsonaro went through the night at the Armed Forces Hospital in Brasilia under perception and was discharged Tuesday "with the proposal that he rest," his office said in an announcement.
A cranial CT filter distinguished no irregularities, the announcement said.
"I slipped and fell on my back. It was a terrible enough blow yet I'm going to deal with myself," Bolsonaro said in the meeting.
His wellbeing has been a subject of concern as far back as he became president on January 1. He has experienced four medical procedures to treat the cut injury to his midriff, most as of late in September.
Not long ago, Bolsonaro said he had been analysed for skin malignancy.
"My wellbeing is fine," he disclosed to Band TV, however, included "there are a few results" of the wounding. "One adjusts to this new reality. The blade twisted together with age is a dangerous blend," he said.
Prior in the day, Bolsonaro tweeted entries from the Bible: "For on the off chance that they fall, one will lift his partner. "In any case, hardship to him who is distant from everyone else when he falls, for he has nobody to enable him to up," he stated, citing Ecclesiastes.
