Photo of A hailstorm shredded my beautiful hostas - what do I do?

Not much you can do. We got hit with a hail storm last month. My hosta look like a strange variety of swiss cheese hosta. Fortunately, most are under large trees, so they weren't shredded, just perforated. Oh well. I waited a bit until they got over the shock of being beat up and fertilized. They've bounced back and look a bit ragged, but they're fine.

Here's a picture from this morning. All the brown marks you see on the hosta leaves aren't from bugs, they're holes from when hail punched through the leaves.
