President-Elect Biden has a hairline fracture in his foot - Two takeaways

[StarfishSaver]

1. These kinds of injuries happen to active people;

2. The American public was given prompt and complete information about the Predident-Elect's condition.

1. So, is Major in the doghouse?

[Brother Buzz]

11. No way!

It's all covered in the small print of his no-cut contract.

[Brother Buzz]

22. FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE - Statement from Co-First Dog-Elect Major Biden

[Cha]

23. lol.. No Major is innocent. Woof!

[Mister Ed]

2. 3. We'll soon have a president who plays with dogs! Yay! n/t

[Hortensis]

3. Yep. Poor guy, but hairline means there's no displacement

and he'll just be wearing that brace/boot for a few weeks while they heal. Whole new world of not wondering why he was snuck off to the hospital and then lied about it.

4. Wait, what? ..

an ACTUAL foot fracture vs FAKE BONE SPURS?

What will become of America?.....

[reACTIONary]

13. +10 nt

[zentrum]

5. Hairline cracks...

…..hurt like hell and can make you walk with a slight limp for 6 months of healing.

[USALiberal]

6. I bet Trump attacks him because Trump is an idiot! Nt

[Klaralven]

7. Never tell your dog that you're getting a cat!

[c-rational]

9. +1

[Rebl2]

15. No cats!

I swear every one I have had has tried to trip me-not really. They do have a tendency to run right in front of you and stop. I have even had them run between my legs while I am walking. Talk about a tripping hazard.

[Cha]

24. lol I read Major was Cool with Winston

8. I had a hairline fracture in my foot years ago.

No special boot, no light duty at work so limped along and eventually it got better and then I was probably in my thirties. Its no big deal.

16. Slower healing time for older folks, though.

But he'll be OK.

[BComplex]

17. Thirties bones heal a lot better than 78's bones. Believe me. I just cracked a kneecap.

It was just a fracture, it didn't break through. But at 71, I'm amazed at how much a body changes as you get older. I'm healthy! And in pretty good shape! (Played volley ball with the millennial's this past summer). But an older body is less resilient, and usually heals more slowly.

The older I get, the more my body changes. But then again, it's like all the different stages of life, I guess. Our bodies change on a regular basis from the minute we're born.

10. And he'll still be able to walk down a ramp better than Trump.

Wishing Biden a speedy recovery.

12. So, no dancing at inaugural ball?

[wnylib]

18. Probably no inaugural ball.

Not in these tmes.

[Cha]

25. Right.. which is sad in my book.

[wnylib]

26. Maybe they'll come up with

some sort of substitute. Joe and Kamala could have a private celebration dance with their spouses, just the 4 of them. Or, some other type of celebration, maybe something they can share .remotely with the nation.

Joe's at least been through the balls twice before. Kamala can have hers in 2024 when it's safe.

[Cha]

28. Good idea.. Something else

celebratory to share with our Country.

[StarfishSaver]

29. Not really

I've been to some inaugural balls. They're not much fun.

The only good thing about them are the lovely videos of the new president and first lady dancing the one dance they do before dashing off the the next ball. They can do that in the East Room and save everyone else the trouble of going ...

[Warpy]

14. I cracked one of those little bones

My foot swelled up and turned black. Two weeks later, the swelling had gone down enough to get my foot into a running shoe and I went back to work (I was a nurse). It was painful but doable.

He'll be mostly healed by the day he's sworn in.

The first two weeks of any fracture are the worst.

[doc03]

19. Oh boy this will set off a mass conspiracy in Trump world. They have been claiming

all along the plan was for Biden to resign and Kamala Harris would become president.

[UTUSN]

20. Note to the inevitable crap from the UNpresident: It's from the asskicking Joe gave you!

[Talitha]

21. I get a really GOOD feeling...

Knowing that President Biden hurt his foot while playing with his Dog.


He didn't trip on toilet paper stuck to his shoe.

He didn't bump his foot while tossing paper towel rolls to hurricane victims.

He didn't step in a hole walking to a church to pose with a Bible.


He was playing with his Dog, bless him!!!

27. This! Thank goodness, all we have left is......
