Former President Jimmy Carter is recovering at a Georgia hospital after he underwent surgery to repair a broken hip suffered in a fall at his home Monday morning.
A statement from the Atlanta-based Carter Center said the 94-year-old Carter fell while leaving to go turkey hunting and underwent successful surgery to repair his hip at Phoebe Sumter Medical Center in Americus.

For a guy I don’t like, I have to respect his ability to bounce back. Good luck Jimmah.
Yes, a fall and hip/leg break was the start of the end for both my grandmother and father. It brings on so many other complications in a very elderly person like that.

Forget the hip, he'd wreck his shoulder !
He should have stuck to fishing for rabbits!
“A broken hip is not good in a 94-year old, but Carter has already survived brain cancer”
Yeah but he used the hip regularly. The Brain quit functioning in the 60’s.
My MIL fell into our pool in mid winter. She was in her mid 80’s. She broke her hip and leg. She lay in ice water for about 20 minutes until the mail man found her.
She is 97 and uses a walker, but that just happened about three years ago.
Every case and person is different.
Well said. :^)
No, it doesn’t.
She was already into 10 years of two alternating treatments for stage 4 colon cancer and stage 4 lymphoma.
Judge Judy has two words of advice
for when you are seventy and over.
“Don’t fall.”
Yeah but he used the hip regularly. The Brain quit functioning in the 60’s.
Carter likely never had brain cancer. We only have his claim that he had brain cancer and that he was cured of it. He presented no medical evidence that he had brain cancer and was then cured of it.
Where's the evidence that he has a brain?
Yes he will, the effects of anesthesia on the old
is very debilitating.
Good mookabooker.
Hope it hurts like hell.
Jeremiah 12:
Right wouldest Thou be, O LORD,
Were I to contend with Thee,
Yet will I reason with Thee:
Wherefore doth the way of the wicked prosper?
Wherefore are all they secure that deal very treacherously?
2Thou hast planted them, yea, they have taken root;
They grow, yea, they bring forth fruit;
Thou art near in their mouth,
And far from their reins.
3But Thou, O LORD, knowest me, Thou seest me, and triest my heart toward Thee;
Pull them out like sheep for the slaughter,
And prepare them for the day of slaughter.
4How long shall the land mourn,
And the herbs of the whole field wither?
For the wickedness of them that dwell therein, the beasts are consumed, and the birds;
Because they said: ‘He seeth not our end.’
5‘If thou hast run with the footmen, and they have wearied thee,
Then how canst thou contend with horses?
And though in a land of peace thou art secure,
Yet how wilt thou do in the thickets of the Jordan?
6For even thy brethren, and the house of thy father,
Even they have dealt treacherously with thee,
Even they have cried aloud after thee;
Believe them not, though they speak fair words unto thee.’
Too bad he was going quail hunting with Dick Cheney...
