I'm a bit too late to jump in and say "Call him!", but I'm glad you found a way to reach out. I remember a time when that was one of the bravest and scariest things for me to do. And I just wanted to say that I used to have extreme anxiety about calling anyone when I first began therapy. In fact, I'd never call anyone at all, ever.

I didn't have a G.P when I first started therapy and none of them were taking on new patients, and one of the very first things my therapist asked me to do was make a call (to follow up a letter she'd written to a G.P). I sat with the phone in my hand for about three hours, terrified and obsessively going over every possible negative, slightly negative, and even just a teeny tiny bit negative scenario before making call. The call turned out to be easy (and as I found out at my next appointment, it was because my therapist had decided it was such a big ask and she called and had me accepted as a patient first).

Anyway, what I just wanted to say that these days I pick up the phone without much of a second thought. Though for me, there is still a little bit of anxiety about reaching out to a therapist by phone or any other way. But it really is possible to change those types of anxieties in a big way if you push yourself.
