WASHINGTON — Sen. Dianne Feinstein said Thursday she’s been hospitalized in California with shingles and hopes to return to Washington to vote in the Senate later this month.
It comes two weeks after the California Democrat — the oldest sitting senator at age 89 — announced she would retire at the end of her term next year.
“I was diagnosed over the February recess with a case of shingles,” Feinstein said in a statement. “I have been hospitalized and am receiving treatment in San Francisco and expect to make a full recovery. I hope to return to the Senate later this month.”
