It's great that you have a good attitude about the situation even though it's unexpected. It will help tremendously during treatment and in your recovery.
Christine B will probably be by soon to talk to you about hydration and calorie-intake. I would just like to say that you may find the feeding tube a big help in achieving your intake goals. The treatment is thought but you will come through. Take it a day and a time and make sure you keep on doing your favorite activities for as long as you can. Post when you have questions, somewhere there is a forum member who likely had the same problem as you. We are also the shoulder you can lean on.
