Hoping for the best and a speedy recovery.   

Prospects are not good, I'm afraid.  Sounds like either an epidural hematoma, perhaps a rapid subdural.  Natasha Richardson sort of thing.

I feel sorry for him.

He was my favorite driver. Best wishes to him.

Hope he pulls through.

Ditto. He's a helluva driver.

Sad for him, but hoping he recovers fully. 

Hank, you ain't right. 

I too hope for his full recovery.

+1

As always, I wish the best to all of us, wherever we are.  May Michael bounce back and heal well and quickly. 

Wasn't so keen on Schumacher as a F1 driver [like you said, not everyone warmed to him]... was more a fan of Damon Hill. but I do hope that he recovers completely from his injuries.

He's still in critical condition.

He's now out of hospital...which is a plus.

However that only means he's out of the coma...and can breathe unassisted.

There's a long way to go......

There weren't many who thought he'd wake from the coma, even some medical experts, so this is a step in the right direction for him.

It is, as you allude to, only the beginning of his recovery process, so let's hope it is not too prolonged or difficult for him.

I recall endless months of physiotherapy after my accident to regain muscle tone and balance after what seemed like an eternity laid up in bed [almost 3 years]... and when I had regained enough strength, having to learn to walk all over again.  Schumi has all that ahead of him, but he is a fighter, and if he's half as determined as I was he'll be back on his feet sooner rather than later.

All the best Michael.

i'm not a fan of f1 in the least. heck, i couldn't name 5 f1 drivers if my life depended on it but i sincerely hope schumacher recovers enough to live the type of life he once envisioned for himself and his family after retirement.
