John, if this doesn't get you healed and back to work quicker, there is no medicine that will. A great professional tribute to a very deserving man.
Get well John, Santa Anita needs you.

These friends at Santa Anita love Mr.Shear completely. They love and appreciate him and what he has given to them. Mr.Cunningham has written a beautiful song about his friend.
Several years ago, the group, "Alabama" wrote a song about the John Shears of the world. Angels ARE among us, there's no doubt in my mind--Mr.Shear is one. He is one of the many, including my child, who move among us each and every day. Without fanfare, quietly, without attention, and certainly without wings. They go about life touching each of us, just as Mr.Shear touched this small, and fragile little girl.
You are, Mr.Shear, one of God's beings sent to all of us.
This one, too, celebrates you, and so many others like you. It touches me, deeply, I cry every time I listen to it. It has done this to me for many years, but it is YOU, Mr. Shear. It is selflessly, YOU.  
Please, get well soon so that you can return to those that love and respect you.

The true meaning of a person is how they are thought of by others while they are out of the room.

Thanks PA posters!
John and I have always known handicappers are some of the most intelligent, and some of the nicest folks around. Proof is on this website.
John got a good report from his X-rays last night. His pelvic fractures are healing well. He still can't put weight on his right leg, yet. We are expecting that to change soon. His left eye and cheek are barely noticeable now.
They healed very fast. When we first saw him in the ER, he looked as if he had been in a fight with Mike Tyson, except his ears were intact!
His left wrist was severely cut, probably from the filly's back shoe...Had she stepped right on it, it would have been shattered. X-rays showed no fracture.
He had a few very slight fractures to his back, but they seem to have healed well. He can use a walker, hop on his good left leg, dress, shower, etc, with little or no help. He has a great appetite and probably will be really spoiled when he comes home. Diane is not much of a cook! LOL, but I may improve.
He's doing 3 hours a day (minimum) physical therapy. He is determined to get completely healed.
I wouldn't bet against him!
Thanks again, nice people!
Hugs,
Diane and John
