Justice Sonia Sotomayor will be wearing a sling for several weeks after breaking her shoulder on Monday.

The court’s information office said 63-year-old Sotomayor broke her shoulder in a morning fall at her home, report the Associated Press, the Washington Examiner and a tweet by legal editor Chris Geidner of BuzzFeed News.

Sotomayor will undergo physical therapy, but keep her normal work schedule.

A doctor diagnosed the break Monday afternoon. The Associated Press reports Sotomayor was in court Monday and did not appear to be in any pain.
