'schumacher Will Recover...'

[sandyRoe]

I hope he will but doubt it. Is this just wishful thinking on the part of a former colleague?

There have been similar reports in the past but then the family put out statements refuting these....

I hope that he is able to regain some semblance of a 'normal' life but fear this will never actually happen.

I doubt he'll be seen out and about again. It's not like he's been having a wee lie down these past three years.
Without his considerable wealth he'd have been dead by now.

[Cloverjo]

I think it is wishful thinking. Very sad.

[retroactive]

like Christopher Reeve who held on for a few years in agony then died no better that when he first had his injury. I think they should 'let him go'

[jackthehat]

That's different.
Reeve was paralysed from the neck down but always had full awareness and complete control over his mental faculties.

If Schumacher is in a coma but has precious little life-preserving equipment sustaining him then it is not possible to 'let him go' without actively killing him.

" Very little is known of the German's health after he sustained severe head injuries in a skiing accident in December 20"

JTH they should have asked you.....

[jackthehat]

What makes you think they didn't?

[bednobs]

there is a "common knowledge" in medicine that after head injury, there is a window of 2 years - any improvement not made after 2 years, will never be made. Of course, like all common knowledge, it's not always, but generally true

[Arksided]

I hope he does, he may have an opinion whether dressage is a sport.

[mikey4444]

Sandy....it certainly doesn't look good for Schumacher. Its been over 3 years since his tragic accident.

[hc4361]

Dressage?

[angie55]

Mikey - his accident was in December 2013, so just coming up to three years.
