Carter has had quite the year with some health issues and other mishaps. At the beginning of the year would begin his series of falls and that first one would result in hip surgery. A few months ago, the 95-year-old fell again and received stitches in his head and a black eye. Despite this, he returned to working with Habitat for Humanity the same day as his release. Later that month, he would fall again and was briefly in the hospital to treat a pelvic fracture. He also just had brain surgery a couple weeks ago!

Many friends and fans of the political figure are sending prayers and well wishes to him. “Be better soon, #President #JimmyCarter Prayers and all good things coming your way,” someone writes on Twitter. Another person says, “Cranberry juice time!” as cranberry juice is often a great aid in UTIs.
