Hi Y'all, I agree!!! Have to be careful with negative rumors like Kilauren pointed out. We have the initial legitimate statement that was okayed by Joni's friend Leslie saying, "a full recovery is expected." So that is what we can expect. It takes time, sometimes a long time, to recover from an aneurysm. Thank goodness Joni made it through the most critical stages of the aneurysm!!! Patience, prayer/good thoughts, and the changing seasons are what is important right now.

Since there has been a response from Leslie Morris about Joni's condition, (thanks Les!) I can say honestly that I am even more pissed at Crosby ... I'm not sure if Joni wrote the line or he did but "a loud mouth is stricken deaf and dumb" I wonder if he will do another interview now apologizing. Well I guess I should just calm down and be happy that Joni is speaking and feeling better every day. Yeah!! I also think you are right that if TMZ hadn't caught the info about the ambulance or broke the news about the court filing we may have known much less, except for the fact that she cancelled her appearance at the SF Jazz tribute.
