Alex Zanardi

Given the timescale, it doesn't sound great, I agree, but surely better than no progress at all?

Come on Alex.

good to hear. He just never ,ever gives up.

I don't want this to sound insensitive as I'd love to see him back - but it reads as if he's well enough to leave ICU but that's it. "he is currently assisted and treated with semi-intensive care".

That quote is in reference to the August statement though not the current one. It's a poorly written article (perhaps translated) and I had to read it a couple of times to get the timelines straight.

Former Formula One and Indy racing star Alex Zanardi has taken significant steps in his recovery from a devastating handbike crash in June this year, Italian newspapers have reported.

Italian newspaper Corriere della Sera today wrote that Zanardi, 54, had recovered his hearing and sight, and was able to respond with hand movements to questions from doctors and his wife, Daniela

Yes finally something a little positive! This in particular sounds promising to me - "Doctors are reported to be confident that Zanardi will recover the majority of his brain functions after his latest step forward". After the hell he's been through I just want him to have some normality and quality of life again.

Good on the one hand but an indication of just how serious his injuries are, sounds like a devastating impact.

Some more positivity

That does seem more positive. Everything to this point has been very much open to interpretation but this seems a little more hopeful.

[CanAm]

Finger crossed for further improvement.

He really is

Not just in terms of being resilient, but also appears to be a genuinely decent human into the bargain.

Very, very well said. A truly remarkable, inspirational & lovely Guy by all accounts. Get well soon Alex!

Was just listening to last year's Beyond The Grid podcast yesterday
Excellent insight into Alex Zanardi

[Ian974]

Sounding like he's making some progress. Obviously not having an easy time, but if anyone can get through it, it's him.

Such a cruel turn of events. I hope he and his family have some comfort now he's back home again.
