After more than four months of not hearing from their Congressman — even while he was out bar-hopping at D.C. bars with woman who are not his wife when he's supposed to be under treatment for bipolar disorder — some of his 500,000 constituents finally received a robocall from him on Saturday. Report from theGrio: "'Like many human beings, a series of events came together in my life
at the same time and they’ve been difficult to sort through,' Jackson
said on the robocall recording posted on WBEZ’s website. 'I am human.
I’m doing my best. And I am trying to sort through them all,' he said."
The article continues: "Jackson thanked his constituents for their thoughts and prayers, and
said although there’s progress in his health, he may not be back to work
right away. 'I’m starting to heal. The good news is my health is improving, but
my doctors tell me the road to recovery is a long one,' Jackson said on
the call. According to a report in the Chicago Sun-Times, Jackson could be returning to the Mayo Clinic for more medical treatment. Jackson added, 'I am anxious to return to work on your behalf. But at
this time, it’s against medical advice. And while I will always give my
all to my constituents, I ask you to continue with your patience as I
work to get my health back.'"
