Dolly Parton says she isn't slowing down, despite health scares and losing her husband

Dolly Parton announced she postponed an upcoming Las Vegas residency to catch up on health matters neglected while caring for Carl Dean, her late husband.
Because she cared for Carl Dean, Dolly Parton said `My husband was very independent` and admitted she neglected her health while caring for him before his death earlier this year.
The Broadway-bound musical 'Dolly: A True Original Musical' features Carl Dean prominently and premiered in Nashville earlier this year, with Parton saying it 'keeps him alive' and is healing.
After fans grew worried, Parton used an Oct. 8 Instagram video to reassure followers she is OK, while the postponement affects scheduled Las Vegas engagements amid her grief.
Parton told People that she feels like she's just getting started and presenting Carl Dean onstage introduces him to new audiences, keeping his memory alive.
