Yesterday I left school early because I was feeling like utter crap. I got home around 11:00 AM and started vomiting about twice an hour, and didn't stop until 6:00 PM last night. I basically slept all day and forced down some flat, warm soda when I could finally hold some down. Wound up sleeping on my couch until 1:00 AM or so because I was pretty naseaus and dizzy. I woke up this morning feeling pretty good, so I decided I would try a small cup of Gatorade to try and get a little rehydrated. Drank it about an hour ago and I'm not feeling too great. I still haven't been able to keep any food down.

My question is, do you think I should go to school for a half day (I already missed some of school) and atend my hardest classes, or give myself another day to recover? I'm leaving for a 10-day trip to Spain this Friday, so I'm inclined to stay home and make sure that I'm healthy before my trip. What do you think?

If you're sick, you're not going to learn anything anyway.

Stay home.

Teachers won't want you getting the other kids sick either.

Stay home and get well for your trip. And that way you won't contaminate the school with your sickly germs. :)

Stay home... if you go in you'll infect others & plus you are going to run out of gas quickly today & will crash.

I know it's such a sacrifice, but think I'm going to say home. :p

DO NOT go to school and infect everyone else.
That is one of my biggest pet peeves... stay home, get better, don't spread your germs.

Stay home. You're weak and dehydrated. Even if you're not infectious and no longer barfing/pooping uncontrollably, you still need to rest and get your strength back. You don't want to go on a 10 day trip feeling like crap.
