Act quickly. You want to work this out by being proactive, not by talking to the judge via a video arraignment after getting arrested because your head was in the sand. Talk to your attorney or other counsel of choice. Talk to your bondsman to be certain he/she/they are willing to stay on your bond. Do a walkin with counsel and bondsperson present to surrender yourself. Do not try to bamboozle the court with a ham fisted excuse. The bottom line is it was your responsibility to be present and you were not. Own that. It will make a difference. Do not blame a boss, a spouse, a main squeeze, a doctor, or anyone else. You blew it and you are truly sorry.
