โ€œI have just heard from a close mutual friend that Joni is walking, talking, painting some, doing much rehab every day, and making good progressโ€“I have another friend who went through something similar-it does take a long time, three years for my friend, who has realy totaly recovered professionally and personally. I will try my best to see our songbird when I am in LA in the coming weeks.โ€

Previously, People magazine claimed to have obtained court papers filed in Los Angles on July 2 which reveal that Mitchell โ€œis expected to make a full recoveryโ€ after suffering a brain aneurysm in late March.

In the documents, Mitchellโ€™s lawyer Rebecca J. Thyne wrote that she had visited Mitchell at her home in California on June 26.

โ€œWhen I arrived she was seated at her kitchen table feeding herself lunch,โ€ Thyne wrote.

โ€œShe also told me that she receives excellent care from caregivers round-the-clock,โ€ Thyne continued. โ€œIt was clear that she was happy to be home and that she has made remarkable progress. She has physical therapy each day and is expected to make a full recovery.โ€

The last official statement regards Mitchellโ€™s health came on June 28, 2015 through the artistโ€™s official website: โ€œJoni is speaking, and sheโ€™s speaking well. She is not walking yet, but she will be in the near future as she is undergoing daily therapies. She is resting comfortably in her own home and sheโ€™s getting better each day. A full recovery is expected.โ€
