Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg is recovering after suffering three broken ribs in a fall at her office Wednesday night.

After experiencing discomfort overnight, the 85-year-old liberal justice was brought this morning to George Washington University Hospital.”Tests showed that she fractured three ribs on her left side and she was admitted for observation and treatment,” a Supreme Court spokesperson says.

Ginsburg was appointed to the Supreme Court in 1993 by President Bill Clinton. This is not her first health scare. She broke two ribs in 2012 and has survived two battles with cancer. 

The Supreme Court isn’t expected to hear oral arguments again until November 26, so Ginsburg has a couple of weeks to recoup.
