Formula One legend Michael Schumacher could take anywhere between one and three years to fully recover from his injuries, according to one of the doctors who treated the former seven time Formula One Drivers’ World Champion in France.
Although the German racing legend has made considerable progress, he should be given enough time to fully recuperate from the injuries he sustained during the unfortunate fall in the Swiss mountains.
Jean Francois Payen was in the team of doctors that treated Schumacher when he was treated at the Grenoble Hospital and the Frenchman said that his recovery would not be as short as people expect it to be time and asked for fans and well wishers to afford him that time.
Payen stated that he has noticed some progress in the German but he also added that everyone should give him more time. Payen also talked about the possibility of the former Ferrari driver making a full recovery from the brain injury in terms of the timeline of recovery for people with similar brain injuries and he said that it is very much like other patients and that they are on a time scale which goes on between one and three years and they have to be patient.
He has been a regular visitor to the Geneva house of Michael Schumacher where the 45 year old was brought to continue his recovery after being released from hospital. And according to Payen, the mere fact that the German has been brought home plays a huge part in his recovery.
Payen regularly updates Corina, the German’s wife and his two sons Nick and Gina and admits that he has seen changes in the health of Michael Schumacher and is hopeful that the Formula One legend will indeed make a full recovery in time.
