Bob Hope is well on the way to recovery after his bout with gastrointestinal bleeding, a spokesman says.

"He's recovering quite well," Ward Grant said Monday. "He's getting up, he's eating, he's exercising. He's improving." The 97-year-old comedian spent a week in hospital earlier this month.

"This is a man who bounces back from things," Grant said. "He's probably the most positive man I've ever met. He's just remarkable."
