Ginsburg released from hospital after fracturing three ribs

(CNN) — Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg was released from the hospital Friday after fracturing three ribs when she fell in her office earlier this week.

Court spokeswoman Kathleen Arberg said Ginsburg, 85, is “doing well and plans to work from home today.”

According to the court, Ginsburg experienced discomfort after going home following the fall and was admitted to George Washington UniversityThursday morning for observation and treatment.

The Supreme Court’s oldest justice, Ginsburg has previously survived two forms of cancer and a heart procedure to have a stent placed in her right coronary artery.

Ginsburg said in July she hopes to stay on the bench past 2020.

“I’m now 85,” Ginsburg said. “My senior colleague, Justice John Paul Stevens, he stepped down when he was 90, so think I have about at least five more years.”
