Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.) returned to the Senate on Wednesday afternoon after a three-month absence due to a bout of shingles.
[...]
Feinstein returned to Washington, D.C., on Tuesday, but she wasn’t there for votes that night and missed another round of votes earlier Wednesday.
[...]
“Even though I’ve made significant progress and was able to return to Washington, I’m still experiencing some side effects from the shingles virus,” she said in her statement. “My doctors have advised me to work a lighter schedule as I return to the Senate. I’m hopeful those issues will subside as I continue to recover.”

Her prolonged absence from the Senate has made it much more difficult for Democrats to conduct business, given their slim 51-49 majority. Her absence has perhaps been most felt on the Senate Judiciary Committee, where some of President Joe Biden’s judicial nominees have stalled as Democrats need her vote to get nominees out of the committee.
[...]
Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) was there to greet Feinstein as her car rolled up outside the chamber. The 89-year-old veteran senator slowly stepped out of the car and, with the help of aide, eased into a wheelchair waiting for her.
“Where am I going?” she could be heard asking, as she slowly settled into the wheelchair. Her hand was visibly trembling as she took her seat.

Retire this woman if she won't retire herself. This is pathetic. Californians should be drawing up a recall vote if she won't step down.
That's forever away! She doesn't even know where she's going!Feinstein is planning to retire in January 2025.
...but hey, do what you want...you will anyway.
