A day after she was discharged from hospital, Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton was planning to return to work next week, spokeswoman Victoria Nuland said Thursday.
Staff who have spoken to her say she is "sounding terrific, upbeat, raring to go," Nuland told reporters, dpa reported.
Clinton has been in a New York hospital since the weekend for treatment of a blood clot between her brain and skull. Anti-coagulants were administered, her physicians said.
Clinton, who plans to leave office when US President Barack Obama is inaugurated for his second term on January 20, suffered a concussion in mid December.
