Ex-U.S. President Jimmy Carter in good spirits after brain surgery – Pastor

“His spirits are good and he is up and walking,” the pastor was quoted as saying by The Atlanta Journal-Constitution newspaper.

Carter was suffering from a subdural hematoma, caused by a series of falls over the past few weeks, and underwent the brain surgery on Tuesday.

Over the past year, Carter has also undergone surgery to mend a broken hip and pelvis.

Carter was the 39th president of the U.S., serving from 1977 to 1981.
