You can still be truly contrite for your sins, even if you are unable to receive the Sacrament, so long as you desire it. Ask your pastor - I can't imagine he'll disagree.

The Baltimore Catechism says: " Perfect contrition will obtain pardon for mortal sin without the Sacrament of Penance when we cannot go to confession, but with the perfect contrition we must have the intention of going to confession as soon as possible, if we again have the opportunity."
