I'm sorry your T didn't answer your email, and I'm sorry you hurt your ankles. I hope you recover soon. I understand your dilemma because I have been in the same situation with my T. You say your T is strict about NOT answering emails but sometimes he does, when HE thinks it's appropriate. I don't know if you read my thread about missing my T, so I'll summarize. My T doesn't answer my emails either, except sometimes, like for scheduling or my birthday. I was just out-of-town and missed 2 sessions, because my daughter had a baby. I emailed my T the news and I was sure that she'd send me back a brief congratulations email, but she never did. I was very hurt.
When I had my session this week, she said that she was sticking by our rule and that's why she didn't email. I said "but you did last year on my birthday". So, that was confusing to me. Now I know that she will no longer email me at all unless it's to change or cancel a session. She says that it doesn't mean she doesn't care about me, that she is doing it because she DOES care. I wasn't always happy with emails when she used to respond to all of them, so this way I don't get upset. I'm sure that your T will be sympathetic when you see him next. Or, maybe he will email you. It's confusing when you don't know whether to expect an email or not, though. Then you can get disappointed like you are now, and tell yourself that T doesn't care, which isn't true.
