I called in on Bill and Angela on my way home to hand in the card that everyone signed at the SGDO. Bill was awake and I was able to just sit with him for a while. He's suffering terribly, but despite that was keen to hear how everyone was getting on. He didn’t once complain about his predicament, but instead talked about how lucky he was that he had so many friends and wanted to hear about everyone’s geocaching exploits. (The only thing that he was sorry about was that he didn’t have another couple of months to do the 15 caches needed to get him up to 400!)

Angela is hoping that he'll be accepted into the Prince and Princes of Wales Hospice early next week. If he can go in, they may be able to manage his pain more effectively and make Bill more comfortable and at the same time take the weight off Angela’s shoulders. She’s really holding things together wonderfully for Bill.

It’s very difficult to know what to say to someone in Bill or Angela’s situation, but I’m pretty sure that just letting them know that we’re all thinking about them is some comfort.

Can everyone who took pictures during the whole of the SGDO today, send them onto me, I will compile them all together and send them to Bill and Angela, as he had asked me to do this.
With BT's news about the hospice it would be good to get them sent sooner rather than later.

Thank you in advance
HH

I got this email off of Angela today and have permission to let you see it -

Just to let you know that Bill is being taken into the Prince & Princess of Wales Hospice tomorrow morning. I'm waiting for the nurses to come this evening and fit a morphine pump - the doctor thought it best if we had it in place before the trip in the ambulance. I'm not sure how long he'll be in for or even if he will be allowed home again.

Such a sad business. I'm very glad that Bill will be well looked after, however, and give Angela a bit of well-deserved respite.

I'm sure that Bill really appreciated BT's visit, so thanks very much to him.

Tried to visit Bill this afternoon, (there are no fixed visiting times) but unfortunately Bill wasn't having a good day, so it was not to be.

If anyone was intending to pop in, the hospice suggested phoning up prior to visiting.

Can I add to FFBs post above that I received an email from Angela this afternoon saying that Bill is very tired at the moment and he has requested some visitor-free time so that he can spend some quiet time alone with Angela - just the two of them.
