Good Humor
If you’re reading this on Thursday, we’re probably already on our way to Cedars-Sinai, where Sophia is having a second surgery for the DCIS they found in her breast.
We heard that laughter is good for healing, so tonight, we went to the Comedy and Magic Club in Hermosa Beach to see Jay Leno perform. I found the comedian much more entertaining — and real — in person than he seems on the Tonight Show.
Two weeks ago, before Sophia’s last surgery, the surgeon at Cedars-Sinai asked Sophia to write the word “Yes” on the right side of her chest, so everyone would be on the same page (or boob) during the surgery, and so no one would get sued.
During the comedy show, Sophia had an idea. When we first entered the club, the bouncer had stamped the back of our hands to show that we paid. On the way out, Sophia asked him to stamp her again, but this time — in a very special place. The bouncer seemed quite bewildered by the request, but Sophia was charmingly persistent, and so he went back to the office to retrieve the stamp. I think the staff at Cedars should get a kick out of it.
At least they won’t forget which boob to work on.
Wish Sophia good luck… and quick healing…

Best wishes for good health and quick healing!

I wish I owned that stamp. It’s like the “easy” button, only I’d stamp “comedy” on everything around me. Sophia has the right attitude, and a guy who’s not afraid to thinly veil his attempts to show us her goods.
By little white liar on 05.31.07 5:55 am
Good luck Sophia! Stay positive and visualize a perfect surgery and quick recovery!

All my best to you and Sophia, Neil. Hang in there, & take good care of yourselves!
By N on 05.31.07 6:26 am
you are both aware that they didn’t mark the orientation last time because the surgeon wanted an excuse for another look at that cleavage, right?
By Margaret on 05.31.07 6:31 am
That was brilliant, going to the comedy club for a good laugh the night before surgery. I’ve been sending you good vibes all week.
By plain jane on 05.31.07 6:47 am
i love that she did that. she’s such a firecracker. thinking of you both today.
By Sizzle on 05.31.07 7:13 am
Best of luck. You are both in our thoughts and prayers.
By orieyenta on 05.31.07 7:18 am
Sophie is one smart gal. Good for her. I never knew that comedy and breasts were associated.
I hope the doctor manages to keep his raucous laughter in check, and thus his hand steady.
Good luck, and let’s hope for good news and quick healing.
By Pearl on 05.31.07 7:20 am
I bet the guy at the comedy club was thrilled to stamp such a nice rack.
Good luck to Sophia. My prayers are with you guys.
By Churlita on 05.31.07 7:20 am
Best of luck! My thoughts are with you.
(You know someone is going out to register “comedyboob.com” this very day, don’t you?)
By sween on 05.31.07 7:45 am

By Ash on 05.31.07 7:47 am
Hehe, Sophia is wicked. I am sending my best wishes to her and to you. Good luck,it’ll all go well, i am sure of it.
By chloe on 05.31.07 8:23 am
My prayers are with you both. Not that I am in good stead with the Big Guy, but it is worth a shot.
By NSC on 05.31.07 8:36 am
Good luck Sophia!
And that stamp? Yikes!
By Lefty on 05.31.07 9:14 am
I’m thinking of you Sophia. You too, Neil. You’ll need your strength for all that cooking…
By buzzgirl on 05.31.07 9:21 am
You’re both in my thoughts!
By Alison on 05.31.07 9:28 am
hope things are or did go alright
By sarah g on 05.31.07 10:45 am
Now, with an attitude like that- and a cheeky surgeon to boot- how could things go anything but well?
By ren.kat on 05.31.07 10:48 am
Good luck.
By Jack on 05.31.07 10:55 am
My thoughts and prayers are with you. It seems I’m only praying for you guys these days because I only pray when I think of you!!
XOXOXOX
By Chantel on 05.31.07 11:03 am
GOOD LUCK!!! A swift recovery to you, Sophia.
By claire on 05.31.07 11:11 am
How gracious of Sophia to think of something witty like that when she must be scared and still angry at the uh, boobs at the hospital who didn’t mark her right the first time. Too bad you didn’t have stamps that said “This End Up” (for orientation) and “Fragile, Handle With Care.” Best wishes for quick recovery and putting these episodes behind you.
By Dana on 05.31.07 11:28 am
Sophia rocks, obviously.
Thinking of you both today…will be out this evening so I hope there’s an update later!
xo
By Sarah on 05.31.07 11:57 am
Good Luck & a Speedy Recovery to you Sophia. (Neil - best of luck to you on developing those cooking skills. Us ladies like the guys that can cook - it means they can take care of themselves. We won’t be forever tied to the kitchen, nor will we have to worry that you’d starve if we went out of town for the day.)
By CiCi on 05.31.07 12:07 pm
Wishing you all the best & I hope you have a speedy recovery!
By Javacurls on 05.31.07 3:35 pm
Always.
By Dave2 on 05.31.07 4:21 pm
Ditto the majority vox.
Much luck and godspeedy-like recovery. Sending you both my warmest, most healing thoughts.
By Jennifer on 05.31.07 5:05 pm
That’ll learn’em! I just said a little prayer for Sophia. Hope you’re both OK.
By an9ie on 05.31.07 5:09 pm
Hope everything went great today. LOVE the stamp. Much love to both of you!
By Danny on 05.31.07 7:15 pm
Sorry that I haven’t been around much lately…life. Just reading and catching up on everything.
Much luck and love to you, Sophia! I wish you a speedy recovery and not too horrible home-cooked meals prepared by Neil.
By Miss Syl on 05.31.07 7:57 pm
