Joan Rivers Faces Her Greatest Challenge Ever as She Comes Out of Coma

Share

It’s hard to believe that you could write a sentence like “Joan Rivers is in a coma.” It sounds like a joke waiting for a punch line. I’m sure the minute she can, Joan will write one. Overnight her friends and family are praying like mad as doctors “awaken” Joan from her induced coma. The fear, says a friend, is that she had a stroke or that there’s some brain deficiency. But there IS brain activity– all signs are that Joan should come out of it. She may have a lot of rehab. But Joan Rivers is a fighter. In two years she’ll have a book out about this experience. We can only hope. So stay tuned. When Joan’s beloved husband Edgar committed suicide in 1986, she thought the recovery was a challenge. But this will be her biggest and best fight. Sending the best thoughts and wishes to her family…
