That sounds really difficult. I hope you're able to find things to do to pass the time and take care of yourself.
I've been struggling with similar fears, as my pdoc is going away for a month soon. I'm feeling lots more secure about it right now, but that's because I know he's still "there" this week (he's on call) and I spoke with him on the phone yesterday to have some scheduling details confirmed and ended up with an appointment three days earlier than planned. (He has a conference to go to on the day we were originally supposed to meet; why can't all absences work out so well?) I was terrified earlier, though, and I imagine it'll kick in again next week when he goes away. To complicate matters, there is a very real possibility that "he may not come back" - if my class schedule doesn't accomodate his, I can't see him and I may not be able to change it so that it does work out. I find it a bit reassuring to recall all the times he's gone away and returned without any complications, though. Is there anything like that you can look back on?
