Michael Schumacher, who suffered a severe injury in 2013, now has the ability to move around.
Michael Schumacher's condition has improved. According to the Daily Mail, the seven-time Formula 1 champion is no longer bedridden and can now move around the house in a wheelchair with the help of a nurse or therapist. This was reported to journalists by a source close to the athlete's family, who reside in Mallorca.
For the Schumacher family, this is a significant step forward – for many years, the racer remained completely immobilized after the tragic incident in 2013. Recall that during a skiing trip in the Alps, the athlete lost his balance, fell, and sustained a severe traumatic brain injury. Since then, he has undergone several surgeries and extensive treatment, remaining out of the public eye.
According to the publication, Michael is under round-the-clock supervision from doctors and family at their home in Las Brisas, Mallorca. However, despite the improvements, he still does not speak and, according to the source, is not fully aware of what is happening around him.
The Schumacher family strictly protects the athlete's privacy: only the closest individuals – about twenty people – are allowed to see him. Among them is former Ferrari team principal Jean Todt, who has often stated that he continues to visit Michael and cherishes their friendship.
Rare mentions of Schumacher appear only in the context of charitable initiatives. Last year, he, with the help of his wife Corinna, signed a helmet that was auctioned to support the Race Against Dementia foundation, created by Sir Jackie Stewart. This symbolic gesture became a sign that the champion, despite his illness, remains a part of the racing world.
