Pope Francis on Sunday made his first public appearance since surgery last week, greeting well-wishers as he stood on a hospital balcony. Francis, 84, has been steadily on the mend, according to the Vatican, following his July 4 scheduled surgery to remove a portion of his large intestine. On Sunday, his voice sounded a bit weak as he greeted a small crowd outside Agostino Gemelli Polyclinic at noon. A crowd appears below the balcony where the Pope appeared on Sunday. He is recovering at the Agostino Gemelli Polyclinic in Rome after undergoing intestinal surgery.
