From pool: On Saturday Nov. 28, President-elect Biden slipped while playing with his dog Major, and twisted his ankle. Out of an abundance of caution, he will be examined this afternoon by an orthopedist.

Good luck with recovery, Joe! Those injuries can take a while.

(18,402 posts)Several years ago (3 or 4) I tripped on a bottom stair and took a hard fall. Incredibly painful foot/ankle and couldnt walk at all. Iced it overnight to no avail, so went for X-ray next morning. It really felt broken, but turns out I just badly tore the ligament. I thought that was a relief, better than a break ... but no, the doctor said the ligament was almost worse.
It took a really long time to heal, and left my left foot quite weak. Ive built it back up with daily foot exercises, which I still do, but I think it will always be a bit weaker than the right. Its fine for normal activity, but I wont be doing any double axels again (not that I ever could!)

Take care, Joe!

(22,199 posts)the time and even when younger (the dog(s) and me), used to toss them into the air and catch them! The dogs loved it and so did I.
Love it. I hope that Mr. Biden's ankle does get better, that is a bad location for an injury...I did whack my ankle one time w/ a bowling ball (of all things of course) and it hurt like the dickens, and even put a tiny bone fracture in it, it healed while requiring no cast or anything (the fracture was so small) but it could hurt like the dickens if you stressed it too much.
I love Mr. Biden already...he is human!
