ATLANTA — Feb 18, 2018, 2:13 PM ET
Former first lady Rosalynn Carter is recovering from surgery at Emory University Hospital.
Carter, 90, had surgery on Sunday to remove scar tissue from a portion of her small intestine, The Carter Center said in a statement. The surgery was successful. The scar tissue, the statement said, developed after a cyst was removed many years ago.
Carter is expected to remain hospitalized for several days, where she will rest and recover, the statement said.
The former first lady married President Jimmy Carter on July 7, 1946, in Plains, Georgia, and emerged as a driving force for mental health during his presidential administration.

Jimmy Carter said Monday he was “deathly afraid” during what he described as the “very serious” operation his wife underwent this past weekend.
Rosalynn Carter, 90, had surgery to remove “troubling scar tissue” from a portion of her small intestine, according to a statement the Carter Center released Sunday. On Monday, her husband of 71 years described in greater detail the condition that resulted from what he said was a tumor removal she underwent half a century ago.
“For the last 25 years, she has had trouble with her intestines and bowels,” Jimmy Carter, 93, told several hundred people attending a free Presidents Day event at the Jimmy Carter National Historic Site in Plains. “Saturday night they operated and found the scar tissue from the old operation about fifty years ago had strangled almost two feet of her small intestine.”
The surgery went well, but the former president endured some rocky hours along the way himself.

This story got to me because it's unusual for him to be scared of anything, he just looks for solutions, but this was obviously out of his control and they've been together for a lifetime. They were neighbors as kids and Miss Lillian told Jimmy that they visited the new baby - Rosalynn - and little Jimmy peeked into her crib. And her younger sister was named after Miss Lillian who nursed their Dad through his final illness. It has certainly been a successful partnership. 
I'm not going back to sleep, so time to go turn on the coffee.
I have it on audio and often play parts of it whenever I have to drive any distance. It's eight discs, he doesn't even get to his presidential years until #5, so there's quite a bit there! I've listened numerous times, but always manage to pick up something new - and it's from 2014, so there's nothing about Trump. 
Have a good day! I'm checking in with MIRT one more time then I'm getting some sleep...
