“They opened my chest, burst her and disconnected my heart for 22 minutes,” said Jones, 62, Tuesday 18 February, episode The The The Tamron Hall Show. “But as you know, I say,” They put it back, so don’t get away. “”
“Heart disease is still a female killer number one.” He is still a number one killer number one, still a killer of African Americans number one. He beats all forms of cancer together, ”she continued. “And this is my mission in life, do you know?” That’s why I wake up in the morning: to say: “Take care of yourself. Go on the front burner. It’s important to you. “”
When the host Tamron Hall He noted that Jones had previously “ignored” her body, replied, “100 percent”.
“I was morbidly obese and obese for the vast majority of my adult life.” So when I had my breath or hurt my legs, or I would get dizziness, I attributed it to a weight, ”she said. “So after a weight loss surgery, after therapy, after I changed my eating habits, I started practicing, I should have felt better.” But I didn’t feel better. ”
The former View cohost She said she avoided “negotiations with it” and thought it was a “residual weight” until she got the diagnosis of heart disease. Now Jones is raising awareness.
“If I’m the one who brings news to people and I didn’t know, it’s my job to tell everyone else,” she said.
While thinking about her health journeyJones remembered the most surprising answer from women. “The same thing I said,” I should have known, “Jones Hall 54 said.” I think literally, these are the words I say, and I continue to say them every day. “We should know when our body doesn’t feel good.”
When Hall asked why people “make” to “denial”, Jones replied, “Because you mom, your wife, you sister. You are worried about everyone else. “Jones noted that he was aware of her husband and son’s health appointment, he said,” Women don’t do it for themselves. “
“We will literally lie on the floor … We’re going to have a heart attack and say,” You can’t come to my house, Mr. 911, because it’s not clean and I didn’t do dishes, “Jones said.” and just stop giving other people first when it comes to your health. “That’s my message.”
