Former President Jimmy Carter is "up and walking" after undergoing an operation Tuesday to relieve pressure on his brain, a family pastor said on Wednesday.
The Rev. Tony Lowden, pastor of Maranatha Baptist Church, Carter's church in Plains, Georgia, told CNN in a phone interview that he had called Carter's staff to inquire about his health and asked if he was able to visit the former president. He said they agreed to let him meet with Carter, who is hospitalized at Emory University Hospital in Atlanta.
Lowden said he will meet with Carter later Wednesday.
Carter, 95, was admitted to the hospital Monday night ahead of a procedure to relieve the pressure from a subdural hematoma, the Carter Center said. He will remain in the hospital for observation as long as is advisable, the center said.

I had this procedure done last year. They made me use a walker as a precaution for the first two weeks. I'm 33 years younger than Jimmy Carter so I imagine he's moving with some assistance as well.
