Sen. John McCain's office says he suffered a minor tear in his right Achilles tendon and was treated over the weekend at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center.

A statement from his office says the 81-year-old Arizona Republican also was treated for "other normal and non-life-threatening side effects of cancer therapy." McCain is in his sixth Senate term and has brain cancer.

McCain was limping badly last week. The statement says he's back at work and will wear a walking boot until his injured tendon is fully healed.

I’ve been speculating all along that McCain is not dying of cancer. It gave him an excuse to undermine President Trump’s and the Deplorable’s agenda.

He had a minor tear of his right Achilles. SO what is on his left foot? There appears to be some kind of device attached to his shoe.

He strained it while scrambling to get in front of a TV camera.

Is he ever going to be able to rush for the Cardinals again?

You’re right, and on that left foot could be a stabilization brace. Cancer may very well have spread to his spine, causing drop-foot.

I heard that the Viet Cong shot him in the ankle while he was on a secret mission.

"McCain was limping badly last week."

An Irish toast,
"May those that love us, love us. May those that don't, pray God turn their hearts. But if He won't turn their hearts may He turn their ankles so we will know them by their limping."

I blame the people of Arizona for McLame. He is the poster child for abolishing popular elections of Senators. Let’s un-do the 17th amendment.

Good therapy for Achilles injuries is swimming. Mid Atlantic is best.

It’s probably a shoe lift to compensate for the height of the brace on the left foot.

Did his Socialist Neighbor attack him while he was mowing the Lawn?

Naw, he would have had a bruised lip from all the kissing.
