people deal with many different things many different ways. i say good for sophia, there is no reason not to stay optimistic and positive, it’s a big part of her recovery.
as for you, if you want to feel down and depressed, go ahead. no wonder you feel frustrated, this is something happening to sophia that you can’t control. all you can do is sleep on the floor, make meals for her and then blog about it for your readers. no one here minds, i haven’t seen one comment left by anyone asking you to stop and find something else to write about. if you feel you’re letting your readers down, you’re not, but if thinking like that gives you even a few moments of thought without worrying about sophia, then go ahead, and worry about something else. you’re the guy, the guy that is actually seeing sophia through this. everyone can send her comments and get well cards, but you’re the guy who is actually there, she’s getting strength from you. i say do whatever you think you need to do, laugh, cry, write, complain, question why this is happening to her, but don’t for a second think you need to apologize to anyone. this is about you, doing whatever it takes to get you through this, because that’s what’s going to help sophia.

Neil,
Remember how we all told you that Sophia could feel however she needed to feel? That applies to you too.

If youre down. Feel down. Regardless of the fact that for some reason, you dont think you should. Be strong for her, yes, but letting her know that it is hard for you too, conveys a much deeper love then being stoic.

We care. When you’re down or when you’re high. (on life or ahem..)

Blessings to you both!

Neil, I would never apologize for expressing how you feel as you go through this. It would be unfair to deny yourself the freedom to feel and say what you want. *hugs to you both*

Neil, I came to this late in the game. I cannot imagine how difficult this is for you both. Tell Sophia I am coming to see her (and you!) next month! Ask Danny - he knows. Until then, and right now, I continue to hold you both in my thoughts.

May warm and cozy thoughts surround you like a well-worn purple bathrobe. Will say a prayer for you both tonight.

I understand about the whole taking a chunk of tissue thing. I went through something similar myself in April. And given my family’s history of cancer, I was thoroughly stressed out by the time of the appointment.

Don’t kick yourself for feeling a little blue. We all go through it, especially when a loved one is going through a lot of stuff.

If Non-Highlighted Heather is right - “The surgeon can’t keep his hands off of Sophia’s spectacular rack. I mean, c’mon, we all saw the pic from the comedy show, those are some great boobs. I can hardly blame the man….” - then there’s a surgeon with a mirror image of the word “comedy” stamped on his hand.

Ditto what Danny said. If you need a pick me up just let me tell you about my life!
