Joni Mitchell unable to speak

NEW YORK: Folk legend Joni Mitchell lost her ability to speak after suffering a brain aneurysm, fellow artist and former boyfriend David Crosby said.
The account offered rare detail on the condition of the 71-year-old Canadian singer and guitarist, who was rushed to a Los Angeles hospital on March 31.
Crosby said that Mitchell was recovering at home but that “to my knowledge, she is not speaking yet.”
“She took a terrible hit, she had an aneurysm, and nobody found her for a while,” he said Friday in response to a fan’s question on a Huffington Post webcast.
“She’s going to have to struggle back from it, the way you struggle back from a traumatic brain injury.
“How much she’s going to come back and when, I don’t know and I’m not going to guess,” he said.
