Legendary broadcaster Pat Summerall, 78, was resting comfortably Friday morning in an area hospital after undergoing emergency surgery to stop internal bleeding.
Cheri Summerall said doctors told her a new medicine her husband recently started taking didn't mix well with other medicines and induced the bleeding.
The surgery took place Thursday.
"He has really turned the corner," Mrs. Summerall said. "The doctors are thrilled with Pat's progress. We are expecting a full recovery."
Summerall, who lives in Southlake, underwent a liver transplant in April, 2004. Most recently, the former NFL kicker had hip replacement surgery in January.
