Michael Schumacher is no longer bedridden and can now sit in a wheelchair at his homes in Switzerland and Majorca, according to a new report on Monday that sheds rare light on the Formula 1 legend's condition 12 years after his near-fatal ski accident in the French Alps.
Schumacher suffered a severe head injury in December 2013 after falling and striking his head on a rock while skiing off-piste above Méribel. Doctors placed him in a medically induced coma, and since then his family has enforced an unusually strict shield of privacy around his treatment and day-to-day life. Public updates have been sparse, heavily controlled and often shrouded in legal threats to those who try to pierce the veil.
