NFL Network reporter Kimberly Jones left a Virginia hospital’s vascular unit and thanked doctors for saving her life after being hospitalized for two weeks.
Jones was staying at the Inova Fairfax Heart & Vascular, but it wasn’t clear what she was in the hospital for.
“The surgeons saved my life, against big odds. The nurses have been great, the techs have been great — everyone in this hospital has helped put me back together,” she said in an Instagram video.
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}Jones, 49, also thanked the NFL Network for their support and she hoped to return in front of the cameras soon.
She didn’t give any details about what plagued her, but posted a video on Thanksgiving saying she “almost died.”
“A week ago today, I almost died,” Jones said. “Great doctors saved my life — but that’s for another day.”
