Dottie Perkins Struggled With Health Issues After 'My 600-Lb Life'
In the same September 12, 2023, Facebook post, Dottie revealed how she'd become ill and her husband was having to care for her. "Chris hasn't been able to work all day, every day for quite a while for unforeseen reasons, which he has to come home and take care of me," she explained. "See folks, since developing COVID in 2021, to make a long story short, I lost my ability to walk and I'm now bedbound with Distal Heart Failure, low blood pressure and a list of other things including this UTI. I'm praying it doesn't send me to the hospital like all the other ones."
Dottie asked fans for prayers as well as help with purchasing groceries. She told followers, "Please if you can find it in your heart to help it would be greatly appreciated. I'm sorry we keep having to ask but we are trying. My cash app and email are below. I don't know what else to do. If you are not able to help please just pray for us."
