RedRaine medical news
 

Those of you who post regularly on here or who stand in the Clayton End may have been missing my ginger friend Mike, (Redraine as he is known on here), at the last couple of home games and on the Accy Web. Mike has been ill for a few years after being diagnosed with Prostrate Cancer problems. He has coped so well in spite of being on various forms of medication and having a range of treatments. During the last year the problem has spread into his bones and late last week he was quite poorly and he was taken into hospital. He underwent a scan and subsequently he has had a major operation to remove some bad stuff from in between two of his spinal lumbar sections. The two adjacent lumbar sections have now been pinned together and he is in recovery. I have not visited him yet but we have been texting each other and he is very chirpy as ever. It will be quite a few weeks I am sure before we see him at matches but please keep him in your thoughts. Please feel free to leave him messages of encouragement on here and I will print them out and take them to him when I can visit.
Thanks Bob Mitchell (choirboy)

Know the name, but not the man unfortunately, but it doesn't matter all the best for a quick & full recovery, Dave.

Re: RedRaine medical news
 

Re: RedRaine medical news
 

All the Best Mike, thoughts are with you wishing you a speedy return to the Clayton End

Re: RedRaine medical news
 

Thankyou all of you for responding and for wishing Mike the best as he recovers from his big operation. I have printed them all and am sending them in with his wife asap. I am sure he will be really chuffed that so many of you are thinking of him at this tough time. Bob.

Re: RedRaine medical news
 

I got a wonderful boost when Bob showed me all your kind wishes, and Susan and I send you all our heartfelt thanks. Due to the amazing work of the Ambulance service, Blackburn Royal Assessment ward and the world-class skill and professionalism of Dr Ghose's team on the Neurosurgical wing at Preston Hospital I am now recovering from my op. back home. I am feeling great, getting about well in my Zimmer frame and learning how to walk again without falling over. I could not have been in a better place in all the world than Preston for my treatment and care, and will always be in the debt of the NHS for giving me some hope of seeing my grandchildren grow up (and maybe Stanley progressing up the tables). I now have to get myself strong enough for a further course of radiotherapy later in the month and must wear my hi-tech NASA back brace for at least three months. I had it made in red and white of course. I am going to try to upload a picture on here taken today of me with my new granddaughter, but knowing me, it might not work. It didn't!

Re: RedRaine medical news

Fantastic news Mike. Take it steady and hope to see you back at the crown soon. Bet your missing the hen harrier. Its on in the forts when you are back on your feet.

Re: RedRaine medical news
 

Brilliant News Redraine. We're all here to support you.

Re: RedRaine medical news
 

Thanks for posting, Bob. As Ossy Kid says, Stanley family matters, so please pass on best wishes from a long lost son down on Selsey Bill. A speedy recovery to you Mike and look forward to reading your posts before too long.

Re: RedRaine medical news
 

So glad to read you're on the mend mate. Best wishes from the cowboy household :)

Re: RedRaine medical news
 

Right, this has gone on long enough! Ever since I've been out of action Stanley have imploded. I need to get back on the Clayton End asap, even though I will have to sit in the hated seats! I am the luckiest bloke in the word, miraculously pain free for the first time in many months, although very wobbly on my feet, and so very grateful for all your kind messages of support. If not Tuesday, I am definitely targeting next Saturday's game. It's too stressful following the Live text thing on the fishy, dreading what the clacking noise is goint to reveal.http://www.accringtonweb.com/forum/i...es/biggrin.gif

Re: RedRaine medical news
 

Good on yer mate, Glad to hear yer pain free, But don't force yerself only if yeh really feel up to it.;)

Re: RedRaine medical news
 

Great news RR - We need you back !

Re: RedRaine medical news
 

Latest news on Mike (Redraine).
I called round to see his wife this morning for an update.
Mike went into hospital two days ago after coming down with a bad infection after his first Chemo session, which he had on Tuesday 7th January. (Those who stand on the Clayton End may have noticed his absence for the last two home matches.)
Please keep Mike in your thoughts as he stoically continues his battle against serious illness.
I am sure that Mike will be able to get access to a computer, and hence the Accy Web, and that he will be really cheered up by your good wishes.

Re: RedRaine medical news
 

Thanks for this update, please send my best wishes to him and his family.

Re: RedRaine medical news
 

Re: RedRaine medical news
 

I am sure that all the Stanley family are together
in wishing you the very best and hoping that it
wont be too long before you are back cheering
on the reds.

Re: RedRaine medical news
 

Thoughts are with you and your family Mike.

All you need to show is the Stanley Fighting Spirit.

Good Luck Mate.

Re: RedRaine medical news

Re: RedRaine medical news

best wishes - Bob

Re: RedRaine medical news
 

I know from personal experience that this is a long, tough uncertain road and hopefully the thoughts and wishes of your friends, and those that know you on this forum (like myself) can give you a little bit of cheer.

All the very best, keep well and hopefully, eventually, the worst part of this year will only be seeing your team lose the odd game. Best Wishes.

Re: RedRaine medical news
 

Cheers for all your good wishes - very much appreciated. Hoping that the antibiotics will see my blood levels return to normal and then I can get back to Clayton!

Re: RedRaine medical news
 

All the best Mike on the road to recovery.
