Castro's Recovery

MADRID, Spain - Cuban leader Fidel Castro is making a “slow but progressive” recovery although his condition is serious due to his advanced age, a Spanish doctor who has examined him said on Friday.
Castro, 80, has suffered complications after undergoing surgery to his digestive system but could return to his normal life if he manages to make a full recovery, Dr Jose Luis Garcia Sabrido said.
“I have recent information that his recovery is slow but progressive,” Garcia Sabrido, who examined Castro in Havana late last year and is a consultant to the Cuban leader’s medical team, told Reuters.
Garcia Sabrido, head of surgery at Madrid’s Gregorio Maranon hospital, said the outlook for any patient of Castro’s age who had undergone complications after surgery, was very serious.
“For a patient of his age, who has had complications after an operation, it’s always going to be a general prognosis,” Garcia Sabrido said, when asked if Castro was in a “very serious condition,” as reported by Spain’s El Pais newspaper this week.

1.) He suffered complications to his digestive system.
2.)I do not think he will live very long. His circumstances seem very severe, and I do not think he will be able to fully recover.

2. I feel Fidel Casto's situation is serious and if he doesn't take care of it then he could probably die.

1- Fidel Castro had a digestive problem.

2- I think that he might die because if he doesn't have a good digestive system, then the food he eats can't be broken down so well.

1. Fidel Castro's complications were in his digestive system.

2. I feel that Fidel will probably recover if he takes it easy, and I think he was lucky that he didn't die right on the spot because of the complications and his age.

1. His complications were from undergoing surgery on his digestive system. Another I would say is his recovery due to his condition.
2. He probaly won't live much longer at the most if he is lucky a couple of months. This is a rough way to go.

I found this article very interesting because I knew that Fidel Castro was sick, but didn't know the details on it.
1) Fidel Castro has digestive system complications.
2) I think that Fidel Castro will live a little longer than we all expect, because I think he is very strong and will do anything to stay alive, plus some of his friends are also helping him.
