Nick Jonas mom Denise Jonas opens up on a health scare that changed her life
Denise Jonas, 59, mom to Kevin Jonas, Joe Jonas, Nick Jonas and Franklin Jonas, recently shared her experience having a basal ganglia stroke, on a podcast.
“It was in the basal ganglia area of my brain, which affected my cognitive thinking, and my speech, reasoning,” Denise said in a clip from the Got It From My Momma podcast. “At certain times I would have difficulty with my speech.”
The medical emergency has left her with lingering issues, particularly with her memory.
“If I’m tired or hungry, I can fumble my words around and not think of the right words,” Denise shared. “Sometimes, I said earlier, I can’t remember if it’s this or that because I really can’t.”
As Denise pointed out, she “didn’t realise” that she was having stroke symptoms when she began to feel unwell in her home.
