While the first anniversary of his grave life-changing skiing accident approaches, Michael Schumacher faces another long tiresome fight for recovery, as reported by his manager. Her comments bring serious doubts over a newspaper report which said he was showing signs of cognitive progress. According to Sabine Kehm, they need a long time.
It will be a long and a hard fight at that. She reported that he continued to make progress, which is appropriate considering the severity of his health condition. It strongly reiterates a statement that she made around a month ago. On December last year, Michael Schumacher suffered intense brain damage from a ski accident in Meribel. It took place in the French Alps on 29th December, 2013.
He recovered from an induced coma in the month of June and left the hospital in the month of September, 2014. During an interview with Le Parisien, a former F1 driver, Philippe Streiff stated that Schumacher was yet to recover his power of speech but on the good side, he was starting to recognize the people who are close to him.
According to the newspaper, Streiff is a long-time friend of the former Formula 1 driver, Michael Schumacher. He stated that he has received this piece of information from his wife, Corinna Schumacher and also his brain surgeon, Gerard Saillant. Apparently, Streiff was familiar to him due to his racing accident in 1989.
Michael Schumacher will be 46 on 3rd January. Currently, his movements are very limited but he is working on sitting upright. In the long term, he could also hope to walk one day with the use of crutches. Kehm, on the other hand, declared that Streiff was not at all a close friend to Michael Schumacher or his family. His claims are most possibly wrong.
She further said that a confirmation cannot be provided, but she doesn’t know where Streiff received his information from as he has no contact with them. Michael Schumacher won a record 91 Formula 1 races. However, he left the sport last year after an unsatisfactory three-year comeback with Mercedes, which followed an earlier retirement from Ferrari during 2006 end.
A lot of silence surrounds Schumacher in regards to his family policy ever since he fell and his head on a rock while skiing in Meribel Resort on the French Alps. Immediately after that, he was brought to a clinic situated in Grenoble, Switzerland during which he underwent a lot of operations and was placed in an artificial coma. On January 7, his wife, Corinna Schumacher appealed to the media that they should leave her family and his doctors in peace.
