    A big thank you to you all! Trying to stay awake and follow the setlist reveal. What a way to make me feel worse!

    Was hoping to sneak off to Hamilton, but no go - surgery Friday morning. Again will accept all good karma!

    Wishing you a speedy recovery. Picture how amazing the next Pearl Jam show will be (and you know there will be many more, this band's not quitting anytime soon!). Hugs.

    Sending you good vibes for a speedy recovery.
    The joy of life comes from our encounters with new experiences, and hence there is no greater joy than to have an endlessly changing horizon, for each day to have a new and different sun.

    Thanks everyone! Suzie brings up a great point - they will be back around touring soon! It will be a pretty emotional night, I can tell already. I already get choked up laying here in the hospital watching the setlists reveal on twitter!

    Thanks again all!

    All the best man - I've been in the same place - stuck in hospital and peering out at this board, and Pearl Jam world from afar. This community, and the buzz around a tour did become a source of hope and light for me back then, and it helped me a lot. I hope it does for you too. Honestly, I will be sending you positive energy tomorrow, and I'm sure others here will too.

    I'm sorry to hear of your troubles. Life can definitely throw a curveball when u least expect it. I can relate a lil' myself - I had tickets to see PJ in Cincy back in '06 , never made it to the show; instead I woke up in a hospital bed about a week and a half later. Catastrophes always have shitty timing.

    The good thing is, is that Pearl Jam and it's community are excellent sources of inspiration during tough times.

    Though I don't know you personally, we've got a bond. We all do. I feel for you and want you to know you're in my thoughts and in my prayers. Please let me know if there is anything I can do for you.

    Forward thinking my friend- Like Ed sings about in "Present Tense". The past is where it should be, in the past --get livin' for today and hope for a better tomorrow. I'll be hopin' for it with you.

    I cannot thank you all enough! Surgery is now hours away and I can not sleep, but your kind words have given me so much comfort - I'm truly touched!

    They are removing a tumor from the left side of my brain in 4.5 hours. I chuckled at the irony of the Hamilton poster of the skull!!!! What an AMAZING setlist too!!! Including, of course, Brain of J!!! Life is funny huh?


    I'm told I can give them an iPod to play in the OR!

    All the best buddy. I hope everything will go well with the surgery.
    I don't believe in God, but I believe in the doctors that help people in situations like this. You will get through this! Before you know it, you'll be at your own home again, flipping through the PJ20 book while listening to the Soundtrack. Good luck, take care and get well soon.
