Ex-President Jimmy Carter resting in hospital tonight for brain surgery tomorrow

[bigsly]

The former US president Jimmy Carter was admitted to a hospital on Monday evening for a procedure 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, 95, 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 stitches following a fall on 6 October. And he was briefly hospitalized after fracturing his pelvis on 21 October. He received a dire cancer diagnosis in 2015 but survived and has since said he is cancer-free.

It'd no doubt throw a bummer into partisan impeachment proceedings by having to postpone it all to bury an ex-President in the middle of them. It goes without saying: thoughts and prayers.

Classless thread for an incredibly classy ex-President.

Par for the Deplorable course.

Agreed.

And especially deplorable considering that we are talking about a Navy submarine officer on Veterans' Day.

Dude cracked his skull open, got his head stitched back together and went right back to helping people and all this motherfucker can think about is, "this might interrupt the Trump show."

Jesus fucking Christ.

Jimmy Carter has had more accidents than a regular season of NASCAR.
