00:00I wanted to say, I know lately everybody thinks that I am sicker than I am.

00:06Do I look sick to you?

00:07I'm working hard here.

00:12those of you that seem to be real concerned, which I appreciate.

00:17And I appreciate your prayers because I'm a person of faith.

00:20I can always use the prayers for anything and everything.

00:24But I want you to know that I'm okay.

00:26Okay, I've got some problems, as I mentioned.

00:29Back when my husband Carl was very sick, that was for a long time.

00:34And then when he passed, I didn't take care of myself.

00:37So I let a lot of things go that I should have been taken care of.

00:41So anyway, when I got around to it, the doctor said, we need to take care of this.

00:46We need to take care of that.

00:53closer to Vanderbilt, you know, where I'm kind of having a few treatments here and there.

00:58But I wanted you to know that I'm not dying.
