Dolly Parton got real with her fans this week, posting a message about her latest health challenges.
“I have got some good news, and a little bad news,” the spry 80-year-old entertainer announced in a post on social media.
Thank you for standing by me and showing me so much love and support over the past year. I’ve still got some healing to do, but I am on my way! See you soon. 💖 🦋pic.twitter.com/HXpJqTUJXZ

In a bubbly, upbeat tone, Parton attempted to keep the focus on the positive.
“The good news is, I’m responding really well to meds and treatments, and I’m improving every day,” she said.
“The bad news is, it’s going to take me a little while before I’m up to stage-performance level.”
She explained that some of those medications and treatments “make me a little bit ‘swimmy-headed,’ as my grandma used to say.”
“And of course, I can’t be dizzy, carrying around banjos, guitars, and such on five-inch heels — and youknowthat I’m going to be wearing them.”
“Not to mention all those heavy rhinestone outfits, the big hair, my big, uh… personality,” she giggled, glancing down briefly at her ample bosom, which has been the butt of many jokes. “Lord, those — uh, that — would make anybody swimmy-headed.”
