Dianne Feinstein hospitalized after fall at her San Francisco home

Sen. Dianne Feinstein was hospitalized Tuesday after she suffered a fall at her home in San Francisco, according to a report.

It’s not clear how serious the stumble was, only that it was bad enough to warrant a trip to the doctor, TMZ reported. Her exact condition was also unclear Wednesday morning.

It is far from the first time Feinstein, the oldest serving member of the Senate, has faced health issues this year. In March, the California politician revealed she was diagnosed with shingles and hospitalized as a result.

During her recovery, she contracted encephalitis — or an inflammation of the brain that can trigger facial paralysis — which “resolved itself shortly after she was released from the hospital,” according to her spokesman, Adam Russell. She also suffered from Ramsay Hunt Syndrome, a complication that occurs when the shingles virus reaches a facial nerve near the ears.

It can result in hearing loss.

Feinstein, who turned 90 in June, was missing from the Senate floor for nearly three months before she made her return back in May.
