Happy Juice

When I visited in March of this year, Emily could drink. Now? I have been calling her a light-weight but I think her partying days should end soon. Things have been happening and her disease is progressing. A few months ago she called me up, in tears, shaken, over a night of drinking. As Huntingtons disease progresses, your body just can't take or deal with the alcohol or any kind of drug in your system well, and it will affect you in ways it might not have before. I read this in a book I found at the library the other day. Anyways, she had gotten drunk at a bar (when really it was only a couple drinks, which is typically fine for her) and apparantly she had taken a swing at a good friend, didn't remember it, fell off of a barstool------- which is relatively really funny and it still is, but all of it is part of how its affecting her different.... i'd still pay to see it happen though :) and then someone had to walk her home... and it turns out this guy and her did the dirty deed a few times. Emily woke up and didn't remember shit, freaked out, could barely move all of the next day when her kids were there, and she went as far as going to the hospital and telling them she was raped.... This blog entry is a little bit more graphic and personal than most, but I'm really scared for her and how things are affecting her now. There were other people there at her house and they all know that this guy only walked her home, yes things happenned but she was at the time willing and whatever else, i dont know, it's weird describing that about my sister. When she was up here at Taste of Madison a couple weeks ago she could barely walk after a couple beers, it's just not good. Starting to get worried more lately..........
