He is covering for himself, he said. Sometimes he has someone cover for him, but not this time. No one would be working the rest of the week anyway. I wish I had scheduled in someone for early next week, but all of this has happened with a rush because the emphasis switched to dealing with new meds and monitoring them. I do see him next Thursday so I guess it's just another week more. I'm just having trouble, and the temptation to make contact with him is growing.
