She also addressed the kidney stones when she missed the opening of a new roller coaster at Dollywood in mid-September.<\/p>\n “As many of you know, I have been dealing with some health challenges,<\/a> and my doctors tell me that I must have a few procedures,” Dolly stated on\u00a0Instagram Sept. 28. “As I joked with them, it must be time for my 100,000-mile check-up, although it’s not the usual trip to see my plastic surgeon!”<\/p>\n Yes, Freida followed up<\/a> her initial post asking for prayers in a post on Oct. 7, which came hours after her original post.<\/p>\n \u201cI didn\u2019t mean to scare anyone or make it sound so serious when asking for prayers for Dolly,\u201d Freida stated on Facebook<\/a>. “She\u2019s been a little under the weather, and I simply asked for prayers because I believe so strongly in the power of prayer.”<\/p>\n Some of them include<\/a> “Jolene,”\u00a0“I Will Always Love You,”\u00a0“9 to 5,”\u00a0“Coat of Many Colors,”\u00a0“Islands in the Stream”\u00a0(with Kenny Rogers),\u00a0“Here You Come Again,”\u00a0“<\/strong>Just Because I’m a Woman,” “Why’d You Come in Here Lookin’ Like That?” “Dumb Blonde,” and “My Tennessee Mountain Home.”<\/p>\n Fans were nervous this week when Dolly Parton’s sister, Freida asked for prayers for the singer.
