The president-elect of the United States will have to wear a support shoe in the coming weeks. He leaned over as he played with his book. He suffered a sprained ankle and small cracks in his right foot.
United States President-elect Joe Biden sprained his right ankle while playing with his German Shepherd and suffered minor stress fractures to his foot. Thus, it can be assumed that Biden would have to wear a boot-like orthopedic support shoe “for several weeks,” physician Kevin O’Connor said in a statement issued by Biden’s office. This makes it possible for Biden to still have to wear the support shoe during his planned ceremonial opening on January 20.
The “fine cracks” affected two small bones in the foot, the so-called cuneiform bones, as the doctor explained. Biden first went to an orthopedic surgeon in Newark, Delaware, late Sunday afternoon. X-rays initially showed no tear. Then the small tears were detected during an examination with an MRI scanner.
And maybe a cat soon
According to his office, the 78-year-old man was injured Saturday while playing with his German Shepherd Major. According to US media reports, Biden had adopted the dog from a shelter in 2018. A representative from Biden’s office said the president-elect had the injury investigated on Sunday so his appointments scheduled for Monday would not be affected. .
Democrat Biden and his wife Jill have two sheepdogs, Champ and Major, who will move into the White House with them in January. During the election campaign, Biden even mocked incumbent President Donald Trump in a tweet for previously making disparaging remarks about a president’s dogs in the White House. The Bidens also reportedly want to have a cat before moving into the White House.
