Merle in hospital
Country music legend Merle Haggard says he's nearly over the case of double pneumonia that has kept him in Georgia hospital for most of the last week.
Doctors found the 74-year-old had several other ailments while he was recovering in a Macon, Ga., hospital. He was diagnosed him with three stomach ulcers, eight polyps in his colon and diverticulitis of the esophagus.
Haggard checked himself out of hospital last Friday and tried to make the ride home to Redding, Calif., on his tour bus. Haggard quickly realized he wasn't up to th e trip and returned to Macon. He is now undergoing a more aggressive antibiotic treatment for pneumonia.
