Florida: Brazil's former President Jair Bolsonaro tweeted a photo of himself from a hospital, a day after his supporters drew international condemnation by invading the country's most important seats of power.
Bolsonaro, who lost Brazil's presidential election at the end of October, went into voluntary exile ahead of the transfer of power to his successor Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva.
What's wrong with Bolsonaro?
The 67-year-old is apparently suffering from stomach complaints.
Bolsonaro was stabbed in the abdomen in a 2018 attack that nearly claimed his life.
He has undergone multiple surgeries since the attack, which happened during his eventually successful election campaign.
The former Brazilian president tweeted that "Yesterday I had new adhesions" and was hospitalised "in Orlando/USA."
Newly-elected President Lula accuses Bolsonaro of stoking riots in which supporters stormed and trashed the National Assembly, Supreme Court, and the presidential palace.
