American president-elect Joe Biden has fractured his right foot after slipping while playing with his dog Major.
The injury was discovered in a scan on Sunday and will likely require him to wear a boot for several weeks, his doctor said.
Biden suffered the injury on Saturday and visited an orthopedist in Newark, Delaware, on Sunday afternoon, his office said.
“Initial x-rays did not show any obvious fracture,” but medical staff ordered a more detailed CT scan, his doctor, Kevin O’Connor, said in a statement. The subsequent scan found tiny fractures of two small bones in the middle of his right foot, O’Connor said.
“It is anticipated that he will likely require a walking boot for several weeks,” O’Conner said.
Fractures are a concern generally as people age, but Biden’s appears to be a relatively mild one based on his doctor’s statement and the planned treatment. At 78 he will be the oldest president when he’s inaugurated in January; he often dismissed questions about his age during the campaign.
Reporters covering the president-elect were not afforded the opportunity to see Biden enter the doctor’s office Sunday, despite multiple requests. Leaving the doctor’s office to head to an imaging center for his CT scan, Biden was visibly limping, though he walked without a crutch or other aid.

LOL
Here we go with the falls and bad health.
They are going to Ginsberg us with Biden’s health.
No. If he dies before the electors vote then the electors choose POTUS or the House if there is no one with 270. If he dies after Dec 14 the VP elect assumes the office after taking the oath as VP.
OSTEPROSIS...BRITTLE BONES DISEASE
Cheaters never prosper.
More likely, Jill found out he was sniffing little girls again.
Seventy-eight (78) years old and fractures in his ankle....goodbye, Joe Biden. Methinks Biden fell and they are using the dog incident to cover for Biden. The Lord works his will in many ways!!! Besides, Biden does not belong in the White House. An out-house of jail house would suit him much better, IMHO!!!
Speaking about Mrs. Obama, did you see her horribly gloomy and extremely depressing DNC speech? They should have titled her DNC speech: "This is The End -- Large Continent-Sized Asteroid to Hit Earth in 30 Minutes!"
And yet by some Democrat Party Cabal "Miracle," it somehow helped propel Sleepy Joe Basement-Biden to an all-time record-shattering 80.1 MILLION votes! ... and they're still counting the never-ending stream of Biden-ballots ...
Harry Reid nods
The media will only take pictures from the head up now, no showing him in the FDR wheelchair.
