NEWARK, Delaware (Reuters) - President-elect Joe Biden twisted his ankle after slipping while playing with his dog, his office said on Sunday.

 

In a brief statement, Biden's office said the incident happened on Saturday and that the 78-year-old Democrat would be examined by an orthopedist on Sunday "out of an abundance of caution."

 

Biden later visited an orthopedic specialist in Newark, Delaware. Reporters traveling with him were held on a bus and could not see the president-elect enter the building.

 

Biden will be the oldest person to assume the American presidency when he is sworn in next year and his health is likely to be watched closely by allies and opponents alike.

From what I read and the video watched this morning via MSN there is something of Democrat Party storm* coming (*my words) where I think his twisted ankle will be the least of his problems. As for the ankle, keep it well supported and try to walk as normal as the injury will allow. With a bit of massage and gentle rotation, and one good foot. you'll soon be fine.

I can't imagine Trump playing with a dog. How do you do that from a golf cart?

In his case he would tie it to the rear bumper and drag it through the sand traps he encountered, and I bet there were lots of those.
