And this, from the Journal-Constituion article:

“The first week after his surgery, he was forced to bow out of the Sunday school class he normally teaches. But he’s made a quick recovery and returned to teaching at Maranatha Baptist Church less than a month later.”

Indeed, and recovering from hip surgery is exactly that kind of situation. At his age a broken hip is usually a death sentence because people never have the strength to get out of bed.

This is his third fall in less than a year.

quote:
Carter, 95, admitted to hospital for observation. This is the second fall this month.

Former President Jimmy Carter fell Monday at his home in Plains and suffered a “minor pelvic fracture,” The Carter Center tweeted Tuesday morning.

The phrase "minor pelvic fracture" sounds like an oxymoron. I hope it's accurate and he's out and on the mend soon.

My neighbor had one. As did my uncle. No displacement of bone and you just have to take it easy for a few weeks.

But the multiple falls are not a good sign.

quote:
At a church service on Sunday, former President Jimmy Carter reflected on dying and expressed his thoughts on what would truly make American great.

"I, of course, thought I was going to die," said Carter, referring to his cancer diagnosis in 2015, during a Sunday school service at Maranatha Baptist Church in Plains, Georgia.

Carter's Sunday message was about belief in resurrection and life after death as a Christian. He recounted his cancer diagnosis after making a trip to monitor elections in Guyana. He said doctors had removed part of his liver and then later found cancer in his brain.

"I prayed about it and was at peace with it," he said at the service.



quote:
Carter also briefly discussed politics during the service. He said he wished the U.S. could be a superpower in world peace and asked "Wouldn't it be good if the U.S. could be a super power for the environment or for equal rights?"

He made the congregation a promise to reach out to help someone who needs it. He said doing so would make America a better country and told church members it would make "you a better Christian."
