Peg, I've been caught in the spam-trap before. I think that's what happened -- especially since it was the long weekend. My inbox emptys every three days on it's own, so if he wasn't checking on the weekend then it's likely that something similar could've happened. [others have probably said this already, sorry]
I think email is really risky that way. It's so hard cause you don't even KNOW if he got to read it. I don't think any T would actually read a message (esp from a former patient) and not return even the simplest response. Even if it was only to say something like, "I hear ya, but can't talk". I just can't believe that your T wouldn't acknowledge you in any way. Do you think that you could call, only to leave a message, that lets him know, "Hi it's Peg. Just wanted to warn you that I've sent you an email." ? It would definately be scary but is it any worse than not knowing?
If you have lost him, I wonder if he'd be findable. If he was accredited and still practicing somewhere, then if all else failed, your T now could probably get new contact info from his professional association. Even if it's not listed publicly a fellow colleague could ask for it with more luck.
...I think...I'd assume. I'm just blubbering on you know ;-)((((peg))))) I have faith he wouldn't ignore you on purpose.
hugs while you're waiting, EL
