WASHINGTON (AP) — First lady Jill Biden is undergoing a medical procedure on Thursday to remove an object that became lodged in her foot while walking on a Hawaiian beach, her spokesperson said.

President Joe Biden is joining her at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center in Bethesda, Maryland, for the removal.

The incident occurred last weekend before her two official events in Hawaii, where she went after attending the start of the Olympics in Tokyo, spokesperson Michael LaRosa said.

During her time in Hawaii, she visited a pop-up COVID-19 vaccination clinic in Waipahu on Sunday and later joined military families for a barbecue at Joint Base Pearl Harbor-Hickam.

1. Oh GEE, I hope her work/obligations after the object became lodged didn't aggravate

the situation badly.

2. That really sucks. Walking on the beach today is different. Syringes, oil, washed up crap, etc.

3. Let's just hope she didn't get a tetanus shot!!!

6. Why should we hope that she didn't get a tetanus shot?

4. It's probably glass or something like that.

Was she barefoot?

5. Or it could have been

a bit of coral.
My late husband had a tiny bit of coral break off in his foot. It started growing. Our bodies and the ocean share the same salt percentage. The tiny piece had to be surgically removed.
