JONI

November 16, 2016
Joni going out for her 73rd birthday!

Joni has been on a long road to recovery since March 31, 2015, when she was found unconscious in her L.A. home. There have been many reports of her suffering the contentious Morgellons  syndrome the informal name given to a self-diagnosed skin condition that is best described as "delusional infestation" in the majority of casesHer condition when she was found collapsed was listed as life-threatening and it seemed was a brain aneurysm, though finally after a period of hospitalisation during which there seemed to be some argument as to whether she was in a coma or not, in late June of that year, Mitchell's attorney Rebecca J. Thyne said the artist “has physical therapy each day and is expected to make a full recovery.” Shirley Collins visited her last year and said she was "walking, talking and painting" every day. She has kept a low profile since but was snapped here out with friends at the Catalina Bar and Grill
