left hospital on Wednesday, two weeks after getting injured in a fall at a rally for the general election.
The 60-year-old politician was ordered to remain immobile in bed after he fractured vertebrae and a rib in a dramatic tumble from a hoist lifting him to a stage just days before the May 11 general election. Khwaja Nazir, a front man for the Shaukat Khanum Memorial Hospital, where Imran was being treated, told AFP that he had been discharged on Wednesday and returned to his home in the city. "He would stay in his Lahore home for three days and then would be shifted to his home in Islamabad," Nazir said. "Doctors have advised him rest, for two more weeks."
On Tuesday Imran took his first steps since the injury and a video on the hospital's Facebook page on Wednesday showed him walking gingerly but unaided from his third-floor room to the exit. According to the hospital front man, Imran Khan walked from his room on the third floor of the hospital to the exit on the ground floor. He added that Imran will continue to receive regular physiotherapy and will need to wear a spinal support for some weeks to come. The PTI chairman will gradually increase physical activity over the next few weeks with a return to his full functional capacity expected in approximately six to eight weeks, he said.
