Michael Schumacher no longer bedridden, shows rare progress 12 years after accident

Twelve years after his horror ski accident, Formula One legend Michael Schumacher has shown rare signs of progress, with a Fox Sports report revealing that he is “no longer bed-bound.” Schumacher has remained out of the public eye since suffering a serious head injury while skiing in the French Alps in 2013, leaving little known about his current condition.

According to the report, Schumacher can now sit up in a wheelchair, meaning the seven-time world champion can be wheeled around his residences in Majorca and near Lake Geneva. He continues to be cared for by his wife, Corinna, along with a dedicated team of medical professionals.

Given the lack of information surrounding his health over the years, there had been speculation that Schumacher could only communicate by blinking. However, the latest report suggests otherwise. A source said: “He understands some of the things going on around him, but probably not all of them.”
