“ U.S. Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg on Tuesday was treated for a gallstone that was causing an infection, the court said in a statement.

She underwent nonsurgical treatment for a benign gallbladder condition at Johns Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore. The condition was detected Monday after the court's historic telephone session for oral argument. Tests confirmed that a gallstone migrated to her cystic duct, causing a blockage and infection.

Ginsburg, 87, is "resting comfortably" at the hospital and expects to remain there for a day or two the court said.

I heard on NPR that Justice Ginsburg will be phoning in to today's Supreme Court session.

My Mom is going to be 91 in two weeks.

Hospital stays are pretty common once you are up there. Even a small infection could be serious and most docs will put elders in hospital so they can watch them more closely.

It isn't necessarily life and death.

Still RGB is awesome!!

Infections in the gallbladder are serious business for anyone at any age.

Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg said Friday that her liver cancer has returned but that she is undergoing chemotherapy and will remain on the court.

She put out the following statement:

"On May 19, I began a course of chemotherapy (gemcitabine) to treat a recurrence of cancer. A periodic scan in February followed by a biopsy revealed lesions on my liver. My recent hospitalizations to remove gall stones and treat an infection were unrelated to this recurrence.

Immunotherapy first essayed proved unsuccessful. The chemotherapy course, however, is yielding positive results. Satisfied that my treatment course is now clear, I am providing this information.

My most recent scan on July 7 indicated significant reduction of the liver lesions and no new disease. I am tolerating chemotherapy well and am encouraged by the success of my current treatment. I will continue bi-weekly chemotherapy to keep my cancer at bay, and am able to maintain an active daily routine.

Throughout, I have kept up with opinion writing and all other Court work.

I have often said I would remain a member of the Court as long as I can do the job full steam. I remain fully able to do that."

Actually I'm not sure waiting 2 months for something this serious is some high standard we want to point to.



But whatever.

Here's hoping she holds out at least until 1/21

She is amazing. I bet I know why she is still participating, even undergoing chemo (CNN this morn)

She will hang in there until there is a 'big' change in Jan...or maybe nov.

Roberts didn't talk about his recent fall and resulting stitches in his head until well after the fact, and I thought only after WaPo reported on it. Then his spokesperson confirmed what happened.

He has had a couple of seizures in the past. Have to admit this latest episode gave me pause.

But I have no doubt he's capable of doing the job....as is RBG....

Of how high level government officials should keep the public informed about their health.
