Joan Rivers Is ‘On The Road To Recovery’ – Friends

Joan Rivers is making slow and steady progress in her recovery as doctors continue the delicate task of waking her from a medically induced coma this week.

The 81-year-old comedian stopped breathing during a minor throat surgery on Thursday in New York City and was left battling for her life over the weekend amid fears the entertainer might be left a ‘vegetable’ or needing a ‘wheelchair’.

However, friends have dismissedthese claims and said that Riversis improving day by day at MountSinai Hospital with her daughter, Melissa Rivers, at her bedside. A source told E!:‘It’s a slow process, but she’s on the road to recovery. She’s getting better. Don’t believe all this ridiculous speculation.’Daughter, Melissa, who rushed across the country from LA to New York on Thursday has focused all her attention onto hermother’s recovery. The source continued:‘She is a rock. She is calmer than I’ve ever seen her. All these reports about doomsday are not true. She is her mother’s daughter and she’s tough as nails. She’s the person keepingeveryone together.’

This comes after it was reported Rivers was laughing about ‘goingin for a little procedure’ before she suffered cardiac and respiratory arrest during her operation at an Upper East Side Clinic.

Doctors on Sunday started the delicate process to bring the comedian out of a medically induced coma which will take until Tuesday.

Joan Rivers’ E! show, Fashion Police, has been put on hold.
