Jill Biden wears a medical boot after foot injury in Hawaii
Jill Biden is wearing a medical boot following a recent foot injury on a Hawaiian beach.
The boot was on the first lady's left foot Friday as she and President Joe Biden boarded a helicopter in Delaware to fly to the Camp David presidential retreat in Maryland. She, too, clung to the crutches.
President Biden helped her navigate a short flight of stairs to the helicopter.
The first lady pricked her foot in late July during a beach walk in Hawaii, where she flew for official events after participating in the opening of the Tokyo Olympics, the White House said.
She returned to Washington on July 26 and received outpatient treatment at Walter Reed Military Medical Center in Bethesda, Maryland on July 29. President Biden met with his wife at the hospital.
His spokeswoman, Michael LaRosa, said it was not known what caused the puncture, but the wound was clean, she was not infected and she was expected to "heal well."
The first lady had not been seen in public since she returned from Hawaii.
