It gets worse. I went home shortly after 2pm because I couldn't stand the cramps. Also, I'd hoped that I'd be able to sleep it off, which turned out not to be the case. Note that I am presently NOT at school. I can't leave the bathroom, or not for long stretches of time, anyway.

This is reminiscent of my first provincial dressage show when I was 17 years old. I had, much like this, wicked food poisoning - then from a turkey sandwich rather than this time's chicken salad - and somehow I had to push through it all and I did. Took two third place ribbons, too. Hopefully, this turns out to be a good omen. When I can straighten up without needing to heave, I think I'll head into school.
