Joni Mitchell prepares to leave hospital

Joni Mitchell may be leaving the hospital soon after over a month, according to Associated Press.

Mitchell was found unconscious on March 31 and rushed to UCLA Medical Center where she has been treated for an undisclosed illness. A report last week had her in a coma and unresponsive but her management assured fans that she was doing fine.

The report of a more serious condition came at the same time as the news that a long time friend of Mitchells, Leslie Morris, was seeking to become Mitchell’s conservator. Once again, according to management, this was so someone could make care decisions for Mitchell in the absence of a full time doctor.

That conservatorship was granted on Monday during a short hearing by Superior Court Judge David S. Cunningham III giving Morris the ability to confer with doctors on Mitchell along with making medical decisions. The appointment is supposedly temporary and does not give Morris any say over Mitchell’s finances.
