 I have congestive heart failure, diabetes, fibromyalgia, BMS, scoliosis in my spine. You know your body better than anybody else, so you have to take control of your life. My name is Darlene Jones, and I live in Chicago, Illinois. I'm grateful that I've lived B-72 because I wasn't supposed to live past two. So I kind of beat the earth by 70-plus years. I love to do a lot of things. I love to paint, I love to draw, I love working in my garden, I have a big, beautiful garden. I'm grateful for a loving husband, which we've been with for 29 years. He's my rock. I was diagnosed with high blood pressure when I turned 18. It shocked me because I was only 18, and I didn't think young people had high blood pressure. Then I had my first seizure when I was 24. I kept getting a funny sensation like in my back, and I couldn't figure out what it was. Running tests and running tests, and they couldn't figure it out. I was constantly moving from doctor to doctor, and each time things was getting worse, my health was starting to decline. It was tough finding a doctor because, first of all, you need to know what type of doctor that you needed for whatever the situation was. It was difficult. Tanya is my Optum Nurse Case Manager. I didn't know what that meant at first. I said, what's a care manager? What are you going to be doing for any other nurse? And she said, I'm going to make sure you get everything that you need. That's what I'm going to do different. I'm going to be your advocate. Tanya's been my nurse for, like, five or six years. I can call her when I need to call her, and she'll call me back. She's been like a sister to me. Have you had any changes with your health? I'm grateful that Optum brought me Tanya because she truly has been a lifeline. She monitors my weight, my lungs, my heart. When I needed a psychiatrist, she helped me to find one. You know, I have care, and Optum made sure that whatever specialty that I needed, they made it available. They made sure that I had the ability to go to see whatever doctor I need to have, to have whatever surgery that I needed to have. And I've had a lot of surgeries over the years, and they've been there on the spot, taking care of it. Technology has helped my kid this way. Every morning, I have to weigh myself on the little tablet, and it goes directly to Tanya. It helps it attract my weight. Having that tablet is also a lifesaver because it helps me to stay focused on what my weight need to be and to keep my weight down. Especially for seniors, they need somebody like Tanya. They need an advocate. You have to take control of yourself. And I was glad I did it. I lost all the weight. I changed my eating habits, trying to succeed. When you listen to me, we get stuff done. We get it done, and we do. Because when you do that, you're going to take care of yourself.
