Quote:President-elect Joe Biden has hairline fractures in his “mid-foot” that will “likely require a walking boot for several weeks,” his doctors said Sunday, CNN reports.

The injury occurred as Biden played with his family’s dog, Major, Saturday.

“Initial x-rays did not show any obvious fracture, but his clinical exam warranted more detailed imaging,” Dr. Kevin O’Connor said Sunday, according to CNN. “Follow-up CT scan confirmed hairline (small) fractures of President-elect Biden’s lateral and intermediate cuneiform bones, which are in the mid-foot. It is anticipated that he will likely require a walking boot for several weeks.”

President Donald Trump tweeted about the news, telling Biden to “Get well soon!”

Biden originally suffered the injury Saturday and went to the orthopedic office in Delaware for treatment. His doctor said it was a sprained right ankle at the time.

The New York Times reports that Biden’s team planned a follow-up Sunday to avoid disrupting his Monday schedule. There was a van at the orthopedic office that tried to “block reporters and photographers from seeing Mr. Biden as he entered the doctor’s office,” according to The New York Times.

Biden suffered the injury while playing with his dog Major, who is a German Shepard that the Bidens adopted in 2018. The family has another dog — a German shepherd named Champ. The family plans to get a cat when they move into the White House, too.

I'm a dog lover. I'm happy Biden has two (one of which I think is a rescue) and is bringing them back to the white house.

Trump was the first potus in a century not to have a dog. That speaks volumes. I mean, if nixon or clinton could look their dogs in the eyes after what they'd done, but trump couldn't deal with the soul crushing weight of a dogs honesty, the man must be a monster.

How do you break your foot playing with a dog?!

What is he going to do that's better than what Trump had going pre-pandemic?  How's he going to do it?
