Prince Felipe: father is recovering well

Doctors say Spain's King Juan Carlos is recovering well from surgery during which a benign tumor was removed from his right lung. Hospital Clinic in Barcelona says the 72-year-old monarch's recovery from Saturday's operation is proceeding in a totally satisfactory way.

A statement issued Sunday night says the king got out of bed for a while and walked for a few minutes earlier in the day. Prince Felipe visited his father Sunday and quoted him as saying: "As you can see, here I am, in one piece and in good shape." GPD © AP
