Former president Jimmy Carter undergoes surgery to repair broken hip after fall at his home

23. Here's some positive news in all of this.

Jimmy Carter is a very active man, especially so for his age. That will do him well in this situation.

My dad broke his hip when he was 89. Up until that point in time, I could never keep up with him. He was extremely active, played golf and walked practically everyday. And it really paid off when he broke his hip.

Luckily for President Carter, he has very good health care. My dad was lucky in that he had an ER nurse living across the street from us. And she monitored every step of my dad's recovery. He did wonderfully, and was back to living a normal life. He passed away at the age of 93. I am absolutely convinced that he would still be here today, coming up on the age of 100, had my mom not passed away. Dad died of a broken heart, not a broken hip.

Sending a ton of positive thoughts to President and Mrs. Carter. May he have a swift recovery as my dad did, and may he get back to living his life to the fullest.
