I'm glad you didn't cancel your appointment and that are looking forward to your next session. I'm sure you'll get many replies to how to make it to the next session. I understand that it feels so far away even though it's only 4 days.

Some of the ways I use are:

1. I'm allowed to email my T so that keeps me connected for at least another day
2. If I couldn't email or call, I'd journal
3. Distract, distract, distract! In other words, keep busy with life outside of therapy
4. Count the days (not so helpful, though)
5. Post often on PC to get support and to help others
6. Be mindful, that is, live in the present and try to enjoy each moment as it comes
7. When all else fails, get involved in a good novel

I hope some of these suggestions help you.
Thanks for this!
