I feel the same way and hope your situation works out. I'm also looking for a substitute, but our requirements are much stricter here. I have friends and family close by and available, but none of them want any part of helping me out. They would have to go to a 2 hr training in addition to all the paperwork, which costs $100, in order to be my substitute. I would pay and have offered to pay the fee + for their time to go, but nope they won't. It's sad.
