Sen. Dianne Feinstein out of the hospital as she recovers from shingles

Washington — Sen. Dianne Feinstein said she is out of the hospital and receiving treatment at home as she recovers from a bout of shingles. 

The 89-year-old California Democrat said last week that she was hospitalized in San Francisco after being diagnosed with an infection in late February. 

"I want to thank everyone for the well wishes and the hospital staff for providing excellent care," Feinstein tweeted Tuesday, adding that she looks "forward to returning to the Senate as soon as possible."
