Damn Steve, that sucks.
Nonetheless, just get better! Sure, people will disappointed that you couldn't make the shows but what really matters is you having a full recovery. Hang in there! We're all rooting for you!
If need be, I'll organize a band festival/fundraiser here in Seattle to help! I could most likely get the bands to do it. Just kidding.......or am I?
Stay positive and you'll be back doing shows in no time!
