The legendary Brazilian footballer was brought to the hospital in early September to have a tumor in his colon removed. At one point the 80-year-old was reportedly "rushed" into the intensive care unit.
Pele has been discharged from the hospital after nearly a month of therapy.
"When the path is difficult, celebrate each step of the journey. Focus on your happiness," Pele captioned his photo in an Instagram post. "It's true that I can't jump anymore, but these past few days, I've been punching the air more times than usual. I am so happy to be back at home."
In the same post, the former football player also thanked the staff of the hospital, who "made my stay a pleasant one, with a humane and very affectionate welcome." And no less important, he thanked everyone who

Pele had been released from intensive care on September 14, but
returned later that week after taking a "little step back," suffering some breathing problems.
On September 4, the 80-year-old had a
