Jimmy Carter Undergoes Operation to Reduce Swelling in His Brain
----------------------------------------------------------------

Former President Jimmy Carter is scheduled to undergo an operation today
to relieve pressure on his brain. The 95-year-old was hospitalized
Monday evening at Emory University Hospital in Atlanta, Georgia. The
Carter Center said the procedure was needed due to "bleeding due to his
recent falls." Carter suffered a "minor pelvic fracture" from a fall
last month and broke his hip in a separate fall in May. Until a few
weeks ago, he was still building houses with Habitat for Humanity.
