MERLE KICKS BIG C IN BUTT

description

C&W legend Merle Haggard returns home after undergoing successful lung cancer surgery.

Merle was released after an operation at Bakersfield Memorial Hospital, his flack said.

Docs removed affected tissue on the upper lobe of his right lung after which the singer "opened his eyes, yodeled and smiled".

"Due to the surgeon, Dr. Peck, the Tylenol pushers on the fourth floor of the Memorial Hospital, and most of all, my wife, Theresa, I’m feeling good … better and better each day," Merle wrote on his website.

"I’d sure like to know who controls the largest shares of Tylenol. God forbid it be the oil companies!" the singer joked.
