In 2013, Dolly was hospitalized for kidney stones, which, let's be real, sounds like a total nightmare. But, in true Dolly fashion, she joked about the experience, saying she was "fixin' to get some new kidneys and be back on stage in no time!" And, of course, she was – because when you're Dolly Parton, you don't let a little thing like kidney stones get in the way of your glamorous lifestyle.
Fast forward to 2014, when Dolly was involved in a car accident in Nashville, which left her with bruised ribs and a concussion. But, being the resilient queen that she is, Dolly bounced back in no time, and was back to her old self – Tours, TV appearances, and all. I mean, what's a little car crash when you've got a legendary music career to attend to?
And then, there's the small matter of Dolly's thyroid condition, which she's been dealing with for years. But, with her trademark humor and positive attitude, Dolly's managed to keep her condition under control, all while maintaining her incredibly busy schedule. It just goes to show that when you're Dolly Parton, you can conquer anything – even thyroid problems!
