I wish I has been smarter about hydration. I always thought I was so good. I did start out writing things down, then with the pain and the meds I just lost it. I was dehydraded often. My treatment included daily amino-phos- some -name and it included one IV bag of fluid every day. Without it I would have been way more dehydraded. After about 5 weeks they said they would put me in the hospital if I did not get more fluids in. Yhat did get my attention. I had trouble early on swallowinfg so all hydration was through the PEG, 2 oz at a time.

So all the newbies who read this thread, remember hydration, hydration, hydration......
