She\u2019s just excited to get back to work.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The 9 to 5 hitmaker missed her Tennessee attraction Dollywood&#8217;s induction ceremony into the International Association of Amusement Parks and Attractions (IAAPA)&#8217;s Hall of Fame last month due to illness.<\/p>\n<p>\nShe said in a video message shared on Instagram: &#8220;Well hey there, it&#8217;s Dolly, and I sure wish I could be with you in person today, but you probably heard that I&#8217;ve been dealing with a few health challenges this fall, and my doctors told me to take it easy for just a little while.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>\nIn October, Dolly took to social media to reassure fans she was &#8220;okay&#8221; amid mounting fears for her health.<\/p>\n<p>\nIn a video message posted on Instagram, Dolly &#8211; who had been shooting some commercials for the Grand Ole Opry &#8211; explained: &#8220;Everybody thinks that I am sicker than I am.<\/p>\n<p>\n&#8220;Do I look sick to you? I&#8217;m working hard here! <\/p>\n<p>\n&#8220;Anyway, I wanted to put everybody&#8217;s mind at ease, those of you that seem to be real concerned, which I appreciate. I appreciate your prayers, &#8217;cause I&#8217;m a person of faith. I can always use the prayers for anything and everything. But I want you to know that I&#8217;m okay.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>\nThe country singer explained that some of her &#8220;problems&#8221; were linked to the aftermath of losing Carl Dean, her husband, in March.<\/p>\n<p>\nShe said: &#8220;Back when my husband Carl was very sick, that was for a long time, and then when he passed, I didn\u2019t take care of myself, so I let a lot of things go that I should\u2019ve been taking care of.<\/p>\n<p>\n&#8220;So anyway, when I got around to it, the doctor said, we need to take care of this. We need to take care of that. Nothing major, but I did have to cancel some things so I could be closer to home, closer to Vanderbilt [University Medical Center], where I\u2019m kind of having a few treatments here and there, but I wanted you to know that I\u2019m not dying.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>\nDolly explained that she was keen to address the speculation and joked that she&#8217;s &#8220;not ready to die yet&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>\nShe said: &#8220;There&#8217;s just a lot of rumours flying around, but I figured if you heard it from me, you&#8217;d know that I was okay. So anyhow, that\u2019s what I wanted to say and I\u2019m not ready to die yet. I don\u2019t think God is through with me and I ain\u2019t done working. So I love you for caring, and keep praying for me.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><!-- Pagination --><\/p>\n<p><!-- playbuzz --><br \/>\n<!-- end playbuzz--><\/p>\n<p><!-- \n\n<div data-cn-project=\"femalefirst\">\n    \n<\/div>\n\n --><\/p>\n<p><!-- Outbrain { date: 2018\/06\/08 } --><br \/>\n<!-- Outbrain { date: 2018\/06\/08 } --><\/p>\n<p>    <!-- Outbrain { date: 2018\/06\/08 } --><br \/>\n    <!-- Outbrain { date: 2018\/06\/08 } --><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.femalefirst.co.uk\/celebrity\/miley-cyrus-offers-update-godmother-dolly-parton-amid-health-challenges-1434230.html?f=rss\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>7 December 2025 Dolly Parton is &#8220;excited&#8221; to return to work.
