Fourteen stitches, a black eye and a large bandage are no match for former President Jimmy Carter, who turned 95 last week. Just hours after suffering injuries from a fall in his home Sunday morning, Carter traveled to Nashville to kick off a week of volunteer work.
Carter's injuries were visible to the audience during an appearance Sunday night. Under an Atlanta Braves baseball hat, the humanitarian leader's left eye was partially covered by a gauze bandage. Underneath the eye, purple and red swelling stretched across his cheekbone. Gripping the podium, Carter began his address by acknowledging his fall while getting ready to go to church on Sunday morning."I fell down and hit my forehead on a sharp edge and had to go to the hospital.
President Carter and his wife needs to be celebrated! Such generous and loving humans!
Remarkable character and purpose in this man. Kids, Jimmy Carter should be the type of person you use as a role model, not sports or arts celebrities.
Great example of a Servant in Action!
He is a true humanitarian!
I’m not sure there is a better human being on the planet right now than former President Jimmy Carter... a true servant of all people!!
Bless his heart ! He’s a great man !❤️
This is a massive government coverup ! For years now a select few have known about Rosalyn’s temper it was only a matter of time, many don’t know but the former First Lady was a XXX hit person for the CIA, she suffers from roses being miss pruned back in 79’, it was hell
Nothing but admiration!!!!

هدية إلى زعماء العرب،،، أحييك ايها الشيخ،،، تبقى الروح انسانية.
Life to be know and emulate.
Wishing the President a speedy recovery
Such a great guy!
Nice man. Terrible president.
If I do live that long, I can only hope I may find a purpose that can satisfy my soul. What is better than helping others using your own bare hands.
I wonder if you’ll ever see Trump doing that 🥵🥵🥵
What is up with all of the left-eye injuries?
voted for him, but was disappointed in him in the end. To be honest he was just too nice a guy to be the President. Every person since then that has run though should take lessons from him for honesty.
Very inspiring. 💗
Just like Trump; on Fox only. President Carter is one of the finest - selfless and wise.
Navy Strong
He fell but his passion of helping the needy keeps him up always.We wish him a quick recovery as he saves the most vulnerable.
No bone spurs are going to prevent this guy from doing battle with anything... just sayin.
Sucks to see him this way, but I see it as his war wound. No matter what, keep fighting the good fight!
Grande este señor ex presidente y su esposa
Good for him obama needs to learn from him
What a President and a human!
Meanwhile, the Lounge-about in Chief golfs while trying to subvert every law his feeble mind can comprehend.
This man is amazing
Outstanding 🙏
Someone seriously needs to do a short feels-good horror film of the unstoppable JC, where even in death, Zombie Carter ensures you have nails for the next floor stud. MustBuildHomes PeopleNeedShelter
Very Sad.
Thanks Sweetie I appreciate it so much!
President and Mrs. Carter continue to be an inspiration to HabitatforHumanity volunteers everywhere. Over 103,000 have followed their lead and built homes as Jimmy & Rosalynn Work Project volunteers. HabitatCWP
Ya know, I really, REALLY miss this man on the world stage. Perhaps he is just to good a man to be a President.
Maybe he should relax a little
Wow! What a great man!

realDonaldTrump Jimmy Carters works harder than you.
Does anybody remember Trump's claim all living presidents support him? How could such respectful person like Carter could ever respect Trump?
Keep building, Jimmy. You STILL haven’t made up for how much you screwed up America
A true American hero! realDonaldTrump you can learn a lot about humility and serving your American people from this man.
It's time we laugh again, America
Please call him Sir Jimmy Carter ❤️ Respect 🙏
A truly fine man!
One president Constructive, the other Destructive!
Liz Warren would’ve said she got the black eye fighting the patriarchy
Did he fall or was his brain mapped via hia optical nerve? If it were a mapping thing why does it cause bruises in so many people? Think Harry Reid and his exercise 'accident'. Alternatively high level government officials are very prone to eye accidents.
Such as inspiration
