Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg returned to her chambers on Tuesday afternoon, just days after falling and fracturing three of her ribs .

A court employee told The Associated Press on Tuesday that Ginsburg was working from her office once more after missing a court meeting earlier in the day.

Ginsburg, 85, fell in her office last Wednesday but returned home. The courts spokeswoman said she experienced discomfort overnight, however, and went to George Washington University Hospital, where tests showed the extent of her injuries the next day. She was released Friday .

The event prompted an outpouring of support and worry from Ginsburgs supporters, who view her as the lynchpin of the courts liberal bloc. Some even joked about donating their ribs to her so she could recover quickly.
