Jimmy Carter returns home, will teach Sunday school

ATLANTA _ President Jimmy Carter was released from Phoebe Sumter Medical Center in Georgia on Thursday and will continue to recuperate from a broken hip at home, according to information from The Carter Center.

The former president will undergo physical therapy as part of his recovery from hip replacement surgery.

He broke the hip Monday when he took a fall while preparing to go turkey hunting in south Georgia.

The Carter Center said that Carter will teach Sunday school on his regularly scheduled date this weekend at Maranatha Baptist Church.

Also, Wednesday, former First Lady Rosalynn Carter felt faint and was admitted overnight to the hospital for observation and testing. She left the hospital with President Carter Thursday morning.

Both of the Carter's extended their thanks to the many people who sent well wishes the past few days.

Monday, both Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp and President Donald Trump tweeted out their wishes and support for the 94-year-old former president.
