Need advice on current situation

On August 29 I paid for a file hosting script to be skinned in a pre-coded template I already had. The skinner said it would take him a day to get it done if I paid him ahead of time (the night before) so I did. The next night I contacted him and he said it still wasn't done and it would be the next day...

After that he went missing for a while. I decided to go to the site where I found him at and PMed him over there. The next day he messaged me back saying that he has been in the hospital and has been using a public computer and I wouldv'e known that if I had read his recent posts. What I didn't get is why he had enough time to post all this but neglected to inform me, someone who had paid for his services, what so ever of this.

Well I guess my question is what should I do about this? Its almost been 20 days for something I thought would be 1 day and I don't want to pay to have someone else do it since I have paid for this already. I have tried to contact him everyway that I can but he is never on MSN anymore and never replies to AIM Mobile.
