Thank you so very much for your concern!
Means a lot.
I kind of feel the same way, but have no one to buddy with. Even tried a fellow bachelor that also works alone, but we apparently both like working alone. Worse case, I be stuck a week (go to Church every Sunday and if don't, get a call checking in, except this last Sunday). However, do have a cell phone and a dog that can clear a 6'-6" fence, so think if she was panicked enough could get over. Not sure what she do then, but has found dog owners to get help, so bet she go to the neighbor we know's back door and knock on it (taught her how to use her tail to knock).
I have got trapped under a car once being in a hurry (and by myself), so now paranoid. I not only use axel stands, but leave the jack in as extra measure. Then I try and shake the auto and be sure doesn't move. Oh, and never put the axel stands all the way up.
