GOOD NEWS: Morgan Freeman Out of Hospital

Morgan Freeman has been released from a Tennessee hospital – and says he is glad to be on the upswing after his awful accident, reports People.

“I left the hospital today just after 12 noon, Memphis time,” Freeman said in a statement. “I’m doing very well. I feel real good. I just really, I thank the staff at ‘Elvis Presley [Hospital]‘ and many, many thanks to my many well-wishers. It’s great to know people care about you.”

Freeman will have to wear a neck brace for six to eight months, according to attorney Bill Luckett, who added: “The doctors have said it will be six months to a year before he plays golf again. He hates that.”

What he will hate more is dealing with his upcoming divorce. But, at least he’s out of the hospital!
