You beat me
However, my look on the things cannot be negative although i stay being realistic about how bad looks. Few things are clear to me, he is Michael Schumacher he is a 7 time world champion of F1 but not a machine or a robot, certainly not superman.
But whatever happens all i know is that around him is the best possible care that could possibly be bought or received, therefore, i cannot think of anything else BUT that the specialist are doing or DID the best possible options for him and got out the best. Kept in coma for that long just so they be sure, and minimize his possible after-effects.
That's how and in what i want to believe...
Having said that to me is not possible that someone like Schumacher cannot recover. Not now, he might get on his feet in 3 years in 5 years, but i am sure he will. He has survived a heavy head accident, spend 6 months in coma and now he is out of it and his wife was smiling few days ago. I cannot think she is smiling because he has no hope, because he is going to be in permanent vegetative state.
He is reacting to people voice faces answers etc. How i understood it is that, that gives sign how good is someones recovery after such a heavy crash. Some people were not able to do it, showing signs of heavy damaging. If Schumacher couldn't respond or understand what they were saying to him, or touch him and he wouldn't feel it etc, THEN that would be a hell of a problem! He certainly cannot just get out of coma, spend 1 month in bed, and go out and drive a F1 car.
He might be in bed for whole year, he might be on his feet in next 5 years but the fact that he is able to understand, to feel pain, to move his fingers on feet and hands etc, it's a signal that his brain maybe is not that bad. It takes time.
Maybe i am wrong, maybe i am no real, but that's how i want to believe it is and must be!
He cannot jump out of bed and run but there are signals that he might do that after a while.
I really hope he does!
