We went back in to see him again just now, and the curtains to his ICU room were closed, so we waited
outside, assuming some serious medical procedure was occurring,. Gradually, we started to eavesdrop on the
quiet voices coming from the room, only to find that Jim and the nurse were having a debate on the merits of
verious narrative non-fiction authors.
He says he is in pain, but is able to manage it so that you don't notice it when talking to him. He has a
metered release, a dose every ten minutes if needed, and that seems to really help.
He seems to be receiving great care and attention from the Hopkins staff so we're going to let him try to get
some rest, and will likely not update this again until tomorrow.

Thank you, thank you for all your communications and the good news through the day. Now I hope Jim can sleep tonight and be well on the way to being back with us at BCPL. It will be lonely to see his darkened office for the next few weeks. But soon.....lunch at The Orient again!
