Do I look sick to you? I\u2019m working hard here!\u201d Parton said. \u201cAnyway, I wanted to put everybody\u2019s mind at ease, those of you who seem to be real concerned, which I appreciate. And I appreciate your prayers because I\u2019m a person of faith. I can always use the prayers for anything and everything. But I want you to know that I\u2019m OK.\u201d<\/p>\n Parton said she\u2019s been feeling under the weather and is undergoing \u201ca few treatments,\u201d but assured fans that it\u2019s nothing serious.<\/p>\n She admitted that after losing her husband, Carl Dean, earlier this year, she \u201clet a few things go\u201d health-wise.

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.\u201d<\/p>\n Her sister, Freida, later clarified online that her prayer request was \u201cjust a little sister worried about her big sister.\u201d<\/p>\n Dolly captioned her video \u201cI ain\u2019t dead yet.\u201d<\/p>\n The video comes a month after Parton announced she was postponing her December concerts in Vegas until 2026 due to health challenges.\u00a0<\/p>\n At the time, she said she was dealing with some health challenges and that her doctors had told her she needed some procedures.<\/p>\n\u2018I ain\u2019t dead yet\u2019<\/h3>\n
