LOS ANGELES — Joni Mitchell’s friend and conservator says it was an aneurysm that sent the folk singer to the hospital in March.
Conservator Leslie Morris acknowledged the aneurysm in a statement posted on Mitchell’s website yesterday (June 28), providing the first significant details on Mitchell’s health status in the months since an ambulance was sent to her Los Angeles house to take her to the hospital.
Morris says Mitchell is speaking – and speaking well – while recovering at home. She’s unable to walk, but is expected to soon and make a full recovery.
Morris was appointed Mitchell’s conservator last month when a judge decided Mitchell couldn’t make health care decisions for herself and had no relatives who could serve as conservator.
Mitchell is a rock Hall-of-Famer who has won eight Grammys. AP
