I'm quite concerned about my psychiatrist. I received an email from him, early this morning, saying that he is in the hospital and must cancel our appointment that was set for tomorrow. He apparently had a severe urinary track infection that advanced to the blood stream (urosepsis). They tested him for covid and that was fortunately ruled out. I care about him a lot and this, of course, makes me nervous. He was going to be going on a long vacation soon. I'm not sure how this situation will affect that. If he goes through with the vacation after release from the hospital, he may or may not schedule anything to replace the appointment. He did write that he would be in contact with his patients regarding medications, etc. He usually always has a backup psychiatrist for emergencies.

Hubby and I will be heading to Philly in a few hours for his appointment, in an eye hospital. As I wrote yesterday, I don't plan to actually go in. They now have extra procedures in place for covid (taking temps, hand sanitizer, of course masks, etc.) It's likely that many in that whole area take more precautions than in most, since there are other hospitals very nearby. We always see hospital staff walking around. Perhaps it won't even be that busy in the area. A number of blocks below that street are all gold shops (Philly's Jewelers' Row), which are likely not even open.
