Dolly Parton is reportedly resting under doctor’s orders.
However, reports have revealed that slowing down is proving to be more difficult than expected for the musical legend.
According to a new report from RadarOnline.comThe country music icon is recovering at her ranch in Brentwood, Tennessee after being struck by a painful infection caused by kidney stones.
However, sources indicated that Parton hasn’t exactly embraced downtime.
Instead of recharging, the 78-year-old star has become restless and eager to get back to work.
Although she recently reassured fans that “I’m not dead yet,” insiders said her frustration has increased.
“Dolly doesn’t know the meaning of sitting still,” a source told the outlet.
For those unfamiliar, Parton’s health took a turn for the worse after the death of her husband, Carl Dean.
Her irrepressible work ethic, something that has long been admired, is now causing concern among those close to her.
“It’s understandable to an extent because her hardwiring means being a workaholic is second nature to her,” the insider added.
The source even stated, “But the concern is that she is putting pressure on herself again without getting enough rest.”
