Scott Bolzan slipped and fell in his office bathroom on Dec. 17, 2008 and suffered one of the worst cases of permanent retrograde amnesia on record. He had no memory of anything before his fall...no memory of his family (a wife, daughter and son), no memory of being a pilot or his aviation business and in some cases, no memory of the meaning of words. Scott and Joan (his wife) share their journey with honesty and humor. One of the ways that Scott "relearns" things is by watching TV...in particular, The Sopranos. He suffers from debilitating headaches. She has to adjust to the role reversal when she must find a job to support the family. She also must reintroduce herself to him as he has no memory of their 24 years of marriage.
