I haven't looked it up, but doesn't his term end this year? I thought there was a senate election in Vermont this November, to replace him. Hopefully, he can carry on through the end of the year, even if it means taking sick time when the senate is in session.
I understand his wife is also ill. Do you have any info on that? Maybe he's just greatly "distracted" dealing with her illness and senate business and maybe some other illness he may have that he's having side effects from medication. Personally, in 2003, while my husband was undergoing chemo and radiation, I had to start a medication for a rapid pulse. As it turned out, before we learned the meds were causing problems, I developed anxiety attacks and had a terrible time with memory and logic. Then after three months, I refused to take the meds and had to be weaned off the drug, so it was a six month ordeal and the memory problems persisted for another few months. BTW, if you are ever prescribed Toprol XL, pay VERY close attention to any mental or nervous system changes. I didn't for awhile, since I was distracted with my husband's health issues.
Keep us posted on Sen. Jeffords. I'll pop into the Vermont forum to look for updates, if any.
