After the hand-wringing, feverish, every-night wondering where, in the lonely streets of Madrid, his formerly-lovely-but-now-hideously-disfigured-by-plastic-surgery trophy wife had lost herself?
That is the sense of the phrase I was getting at... is that what this sentence's intended meaning is? Or is it in the sense of "My father is not [the man you just described]?" I'm sure this is getting way too complicated for a lesson at this level, but I'm just trying to get at why the word order was "mismo hombre" rather than "hombre mismo".

Yes!!
Hombre is masculine, and as the the adjective/pronoun to hombre, mismo must be in its masculine (and singular) form, too.
