Former U.S. President Jimmy Carter has been released from Emory University Hospital in Atlanta after recovering from surgery to relieve pressure on his brain caused by bleeding from a fall.

Carter Center spokeswoman Deanna Congileo said Wednesday that the Carters �look forward to enjoying Thanksgiving at home in Plains, where he will continue to recover.�

The Carter Center has said the bleeding was connected to Carter�s recent falls. A Spring fall required him to get hip replacement surgery. He fell twice in October, hitting his head at least once.
