Former U.S. President Jimmy Carter was admitted to a hospital on Monday evening for a surgery to relieve pressure on his brain, caused by bleeding due to his recent falls, his spokeswoman said.
The procedure is scheduled for Tuesday morning at Emory University Hospital, Deanna Congileo said in a statement. Carter has fallen at least three times this year, and the first incident in the spring required hip replacement surgery. He traveled to Nashville, Tennessee, and helped build a Habitat for Humanity home after getting 14 stiches following a fall on Oct. 6. And he was briefly hospitalized after fracturing his pelvis on Oct. 21. He received a dire cancer diagnosis in 2015 but survived and has since said he is cancer-free.
Nearly four decades after he left office and despite a body that's failing after 95 years, the nation's oldest-ever ex-president still teaches Sunday school roughly twice a month at Maranatha Baptist Church in his tiny hometown of Plains in southwest Georgia. His message is unfailingly about Jesus, not himself.
Rev. Tony Lowden, Carter's pastor, said the ex-president was hospitalized Monday on what he called "a rough day."

And you need your TV cable. That's bad.
I suspect they receive considerably better health care than peons. All the elites are exempt from their own demands that civilization must reduce expectations of comfort and long life for the sake of the earth.
I also hear that private jet sales are through the roof. And it's sure not my local roofer who is buying such. It's the elite Global Warming preachers and their ilk.
**oldest-ever ex-president still teaches Sunday school roughly twice a month at Maranatha Baptist Church in his tiny hometown of Plains in southwest Georgia. His message is unfailingly about Jesus, not himself.**
I wonder if he ever taught about when Jesus forgave the adulterous woman? Jesus closed his comments to her with: “...Go, and sin no more”. (John 8:11).
That shows that Jesus forgave sin, but did NOT approve of it; and expected the forgiven to avoid continuing in sin.
Had she been with another woman, or aborted a baby, I would think that Jesus would have said the same thing. Many so called Sunday school teachers and preachers don’t follow Jesus completely in fear of offending the listeners or a political segment.
Jesus preached against sin. Has Jimmy been teaching against sin,... all sin,... including sexual sins,.. and abortion? In earshot of newspeople??
(I have thought of that story many times, and wondered what Jesus wrote on the ground. Did he write, “where is the man that is the other half of this offense? Why did you not bring him as well?” Or maybe he just wrote names of offenders that were not present, but their “partners” in sin were right there accusing the woman.)
Jesus also said that the way to heaven is straight and narrow. That’s not popular preaching; never has been, never will be.
Count me out, I think that's going waaay overboard.
Must I sarc tab everything?
OK. Torches. Pitchforks. Let’s transfer all the in-patients from County General to this deep-state hospital. Jimmuh’s getting some new room mates.
>>Shouldn’t we Republicans stand outside Carter’s hospital room banging pots and pans and shouting death threats like the left did to McConnell when he was recovering from surgery? Oh, that’s right, we’re not total a**holes.<<
Very well stated. You hit the nail right on the head.
Too bad he didn’t stick exclusively to Sunday school teaching and peanut farming.
I still chuckle over his appearance on What’s My Line? when he was Governor. Kitty Carlisle guessed that he was a nun recruiter.
If he were in Great Britain or Canada, he probably would have been denied the hip surgery and/or put on a waiting list.
“I am retiring from the military soon. For my retirement, I can request a letter from every former president that I served under.”

Take the pain pill and avoid the surgery.
Obama says so. It isn’t cost effective to continue his Castro sucking life.
Yeah, except now, they won’t let you you have the pain pills, either.
Don’t like his politics of course, but nothing but good wishes for the man. Wrong on many accounts but he always seemed to be a sincere and honest individual.
Sorry. I can’t play ‘nice.’
If only he had turned down his thermostat and put on a sweater, all would’ve been well! ;)
If he doesn’t make it through this, 0bama gets to wear the crown of Worst. President. Ever.
I DO owe a LOT to President Carter, though. He was the first President I had as I came of age. He showed me how TERRIBLY you could run a country and make a bad situation WORSE in his short four years.
I joined the Army because THERE WERE NO JOBS and I needed a job and a way to pay for college. My folks had a mortgage that was 18%! OMG! Can you even IMAGINE that? Credit cards were 22% and above!
There were lines for gasoline - when you could get it!
And then we had to suffer through 444 days of a terrorist hostage situation!
Thanks for the memories you Communist-Loving jerk.
The letters are only from living former presidents...and the only one you seem to respect passed away a while ago. I served under Carter, Reagan, Bush, Obama, and Trump. I want letters from all of them.
The letter of appreciation is only for 30 years, which I do not have. I get a certificate from POTUS, and a letter from the others.
I agree.
I agree...
Our Lord works in mysterious ways his wonders to preform...
And this could be one of his ways...to interfere in this stupid Democrat Circus show called Impeachment...
Watch and see...possible....
