Michael Schumacher "hurt in skiing accident"

[F1fanaticBD]

Schumacher's manager has dismissed it as speculation. That is a relief for the time being, but I am skeptical about it, because it is very common among the patients of Schumacher's nature.

Massa recently paid Michael a visit and his comments
made me think Michael is in worse shape than I feared.

The news doesn't get any better does it Dare.

Micheal is showing signs of consciousness, though for few moments, but surely this is VERY good news. I will again seek the help Former F1 Doc who has this magical ability to make difficult medical term to a completely palatable to everyone, to explain what this means, how big and important is this

Things are looking slightly better for Schumi, fingers crossed it's gonna get even better.

It signifies that he is out of danger, not entirely but surely the chance of worse things happening has reduced significantly. It also provides a base from which different sort of treatment to work on him can begin with. So its massive, believe me Ian it feels like Christmas for me

Wouldn't it be great to see Michael walk onto the podium to present the trophies BD.

While this is good news I think Michael has
a long rough road to climb.Best wishes
to him and his family.

The statement from Sabine Kehm reads, “Michael is making progress on his way. He shows moments of consciousness and awakening. We are on his side during his long and difficult fight, together with the team of the hospital in Grenoble, and we keep remaining confident."

I haven't read all the posts in this thread, so apologies if this has already been mentioned.

For those of you in the UK, you'll know that Richard Hammond from 'Top Gear' had a serious accident several years ago and suffered really bad head injuries resulting in him being in a coma for quite a long time. I believe that the last rites were given and he wasn't expected to pull through initially.

He did though - and he is now back to presenting the programme and although he still admits that he is a different man following his accident, he still seems to us, the general public to be as good as he ever was, with very little if any discernible difference in his persona.

Fingers crossed for Michael - every injury is different as is every recovery, however this still gives me a feeling for optimism and hope.

I was hoping there would be a bit more of a change in Hammond after his accident but it appears he did indeed recover to be the same narcissistic, sycophantic, annoying little man that he always was. There - apologies if this offends anyone but I can't stand him. Given the huge popularity of Top Gear in the UK this is probably an unpopular post. Oh well never mind.

Main difference with Schumi of course is that Hammond was in a coma for two weeks. I hope Schumi pulls through but I'll be amazed if he ever achieves anything like a normal life after such a long coma - here's hoping I'm proved wrong.

That would be lovely if Micheal could recover that well, we all are hoping and praying for that to happen.
