Book Description
Just twenty-two years old, Su Meck was already married and the mother of two children in 1988 when a ceiling fan in the kitchen of her home fell from its mounting and struck her in the head. She survived the life-threatening swelling in her brain that resulted from the accident, but when she regained consciousness in the hospital the next day, she didn't know her own name. She didn't recognize a single family member or friend, she couldn't read or write or brush her teeth or use a fork--and she didn't have even a scrap of memory from her life up to that point. The fiercely independent and outspoken young woman she had been vanished completely. Most patients who suffer amnesia as a result of a head injury eventually regain their memories, but Su never did. Nearly twenty years would pass before Su understood the full extent of the losses she and her family suffered as a result of her injury. As a series of personally devastating events shattered the "normal" life she had worked so hard to build, Su realized that she would have to grow up all over again, and finally take control of the strange second life she had awoken into.

What I Forgot to Remember
Author: Carl Reiner
Publisher:
ISBN: 9780991536818
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 297
Book Description
It's finally here - the last installment of the Carl Reiner Remember Trilogy (which is not to say he won't continue to remember). In 2012, Carl wrote his hilarious and heartwarming memoir, "I Remember Me," chronicling ninety years of living and laughing, with twelve Emmys and a Grammy to attest to his esteemed career in show business. Over the next two years, so many more stories continued to flood Carl's memory that he felt compelled to follow up with the equally rich and funny, "I Just Remembered." In this latest work, "What I Forgot To Remember," Carl has written a book that goes beyond the scope of mere life and showbiz memories. To be sure, there are, incredibly, a wealth of new memories included here: the day he and Mary Tyler Moore acted as sex coaches in the mating of their dogs; sharing stories with Milton Berle about each of their unique encounters with silent film star Pola Negri; his quest to be included in the Guinness Book of World Records along with his old friend Betty White; and more with a broad spectrum of celebrities spanning decades such as Pete Seeger, Tyrone Power, Eva Marie Saint and Conan O'Brien, to name just a few.The bonus in "What I Forgot To Remember" is the inclusion of never before documented "historical" events and characters, filtered through (or possibly created by, who can know?) the brain cells of Carl Reiner; for instance, the history of the straight pin, "Literature's Most Ignored And Important Commodity." Or Carl's world-altering invention of the highly-acclaimed "Improvenator." Or the touching story of his mother's life. And for good measure, writer's advice from a skilled wordsmith in "Chews Yore Homonyms Well, As Awl Grate Righters Dew."So enjoy. Whether it happened in actuality or in the fertile mind of Carl Reiner, you will be equally entertained.
