Mark's Facebook Posts while I was in surgery:

8:00am-ish....
Well, I'm the designated reporter today to keep "Moya Nation" abreast (bha-dum-bum-pssssh) of how she is doing. I'll post now and again as things happen.

She is checked in and getting prepped for surgery right now.

It is surreal that she has already made it to this point in her cancer battle. In typical Moya fashion, she was whistling this morning and even told me "I really thought the chemo phase would have been worse." I looked at her with a bewildered expression, and asked if she had already forgotten the last 5 months and how bad it sucked for her at times!? She said, "No, It's just that I thought I'd be in the toilet puking my brains out all the time, and it wasn't THAT bad!" Believe me, that is ab extremely positive outlook at what she's been through and continues to go through. The girl just sees the world at its best. Always has.

I know there are a ton of people out there thinking and praying for Moya today, so I asked her if she could feel that? She said, "I think so, but I wish they'd be praying for my doctors! All I gotta do is take a nap!" Lol!! She cracks me up!! Stay tuned folks...
 
8:38am...
They just wheeled her back about 10 min ago. She is gonna be sleeping soon if not already. Met with both surgeons. They drew scribbles all over her. I think it's a cut on the lines kinda thing. My cousin Taylor once had a surgery and asked to see the surgeons, ask them how they are feeling, and he looked at their hands to see if they were steady. Well Taylor, they were both in high spirits, and the first joked that he quit drinking at 2am. So he should be pretty good by the time it's his turn. kidding of course. Seriously, I am in awe by these people. I get up, eat breakfast, and go sit behind a computer for the day. They start the same, then go open peoples bodies, fix them, close them up, then go home. Wow!!! I'm glad they make bank! They are superstars! Stay tuned!
 
9:06am...
Geesh, that was fast! Er.. Not insinuating anything Moya First surgeon is done. She does not have cancer anymore! Hallelujah! Surgeon said she saw no apparent sign of the tumor existing anymore. That is a sign that the chemo did it's job. She is still opened up and the next surgeon has tagged in to start reconstruction. This is going fast! Stay tuned...
 
10:57am...
She is done with reconstruction and is now in recovery. Her 2nd surgeon was happy with how things went as well. Said "she'll be a sore puppy" tonight and for a few days. She'll be overnight at the hospital tonight and possibly tomorrow night depending on how she feels/pain. Doc felt she'd tolerate pain well given that he is getting to know her and her spirit. I didn't know this, but right before surgery Moya put two sticky notes on her chest. One for each surgeon. They were both cracked up about it! Especially the 2nd one who had a belly laugh when telling me a couple minutes ago what it said. Something like "dear Dr. Puckett, I want full B/small C. Not DD despite anything my husband says while I'm sleeping". Lmao! Dang, she's good!
