I rely on panic.
BTW, you had an emergency appendectomy and you were sent home same day? Wow! I had one many, many years ago and I think I was in hospital for about 5 days and off work for 2 weeks. I sure hope you are feeling better soon!
Fortunately they can perform far less invasive surgery today that they used to. I actually don't feel too bad today (or I would not be on here now). Since it was very close to bursting it could have been much worse. Thanks for your kind words.
Anyways take care gotta finish up work and go home ... I wish I had an actual helpful post but In my opinion at that time my feelings were this .. Customers,movies,shipping,money WHO CARES I am having a baby and my wife needs me so suck ittt LOL so not professional but it was how I felt
I really like your attitude. That is exactly the way I think of my family. My daughter and son both came to the hospital. I sent my daughter home after awhile because she was falling asleep in the chair but my son stayed and helped DH get me home. He would have gone to bed around 12:30 a.m. and was up again around 4:00 a.m. to drive 1 1/2 hours to get to work. Can't ask for better than that!
looks like we've discovered a new vocation: "Emergency site shut down consultant" - for a somewhat minimal fee they'll close your site down during your emergency, just contact this number..... I actually googled this but just got emergency shut down valves......too bad....
That hits the nail on the head. Since this is the second time I have been in this situation it dawned on me today that there needs to be something in place to let sellers deal with unforeseen circumstances.

Hope your DH is up to taking care of you while you recuperate. Take advantage of any municipal home care services that may be available.
DH is "THE BEST"! He spoils me. By the way, his favourite TV show is Castle which he should be watching right about now. I am fine with no home care...used to do it myself. There isn't much of it available today...far too much waste in the past. A few years ago they sent my mother home at age 82 on a "waiting list" for home care. She lived in her home with my father who at the time was suffering for dementia. That is where family takes over....and we did.
Thanks for all replies.
I suffer from a bit on anxiety, so, mix in a little panic and I have a wonderful cocktail of neurosis. Fun in its' own little way.

OK, I need to know what "DH" stands for -- I know what it refers to (spouse, significant other, etc.), but could someone kindly enlighten me as to the actual English words? 
I'm pretty much a one-woman show and am concerned about what would happen to everything I've built up on this site if I were suddenly taken very ill (heaven knows, it takes a long time to forge a reputation here and a very short time to destroy it). However, I'm more of a "planning fatalist" than a worrier, so I have a dual contingency backup.
I'm grateful for store vacation settings -- they've come in handy in more minor emergencies and would at least prevent my seller status from being ruined in the event I was out of the picture. My Darling Husband (is that it???) has my password and instructions to put my store on vacation -- with listings blacked out -- if I became temporarily unable to function. For a longer illness or incapacity, he would end all listings and leave the store "empty" but still viable, and if eventually necessary, sell off the business and all my stock through an agent.
None of us sellers should forget that our eBay businesses have value in the real world if they are "going concerns". Since my husband wouldn't be able to run my eBay business, it's some comfort to me that he'd at least be able to benefit from what I've built.
Through 35 years of retail, customers do care. Vast majority are really great people that will cut you as much slack as you need. What happens, is the festering puss-boils of society, the attention seekers of annoyance, cloud the picture.
Fortunately, they are, maybe, .1% of customers. The other 99.9% are very nice people.
I give a smile, I get a smile. Most people have figured that out.
