If it helps any, you weren't upset that he was sick. You were upset that your schedule was interrupted. A completely different thing. My therapist is going away for two? weeks around Christmas with his family. I'm really glad for him that he will be able to relax and bond with his loved ones. I'm really upset that I won't see him for so long. I'm glad his needs are being met. I'm upset that my needs won't be.
Being upset that your needs weren't met doesn't need to have anything to do with any compassion or good feelings you have for him.
(And be glad he didn't come in. Mine came in sick today, coughed all over the place, and I'm expecting the flu in about a week.)
