Aretha Franklin, “I feel great.” + She Talks in 3rd Person

Aretha Franklin, who recently released a statement announcing that she was back home, tells Jet Magazine, “I feel great. The doctors say I can do whatever I feel like I am up to do. Of course, that doesn’t mean any concerts or anything like that. But I can do things around the house, and today I am just piddling around the house.”

She continues talking in 3rd person, “I am putting Aretha together first. We will put Ree Ree together first. This is Aretha time to do whatever it is that I need to do. But I will talk more later.” She still hasn’t said specifically (although her bum a** friend has) what illness (allegedly pancreatic cancer) or condition that she is recovering or struggling with.
