ATLANTA — Former President Jimmy Carter, 94, was released Thursday morning from a Georgia hospital after getting a hip replacement, and he plans to continue recuperating at his home in rural Plains, said a statement from spokeswoman Deanna Congileo.

Carter’s wife, Rosalynn Carter, went home with her husband after she was admitted to the hospital Wednesday for observation and testing after she “felt faint,” Congileo said.

Jimmy Carter suffered a broken hip Monday as he was leaving to go turkey hunting. Congileo said he will undergo physical therapy as part of his recovery.

She said Carter plans to teach his regular Sunday school class this weekend at Maranatha Baptist Church in Plains.
