(CNN)Former President Jimmy Carter may have spent three days in the hospital, but the 94 year-old is expected to teach Sunday school at his beloved Maranatha Baptist Church in Plains, Georgia, this weekend.
Carter was released from the hospital Thursday morning, the Carter Center announced, and will continue to recuperate at home. He was admitted Monday after a fall on his way to go turkey hunting, and later underwent a successful surgery at the Phoebe Sumter Medical Center in Americus, Georgia.
"He will undergo physical therapy, as part of his recovery from hip replacement surgery. President Carter plans to teach Sunday school at Maranatha Baptist Church this weekend," the Carter Center said in a statement.
In March, Carter became the oldest-living former president in US history. The former president fought cancer in his liver and brain, announcing his cancer was gone in 2015. He was hospitalized briefly in 2017 after becoming dehydrated while working on a Habitat for Humanity project in Canada, but has since been in overall good health.

LOL about the turkey hunt. He has earned his hobbies, unlike the Dotard.

(82,383 posts)that makes sense. And it seems that the survivor won't survive by long.

(5,275 posts)Jimmy Carter IMHO is the best man ever to be President. Not the best President but the most decent human being. He reminds me so much of my Paternal Grandfather, who my Sister and I idolized and spent a lot of time with.
