Who am I?

My entire life has rightly or wrongly been defined by first who's son I was and then by my own work and accomplishments. Good enough, I get all that and save a few minor bickering points have little problem with the concept. That brings us to the present day, who am I? Before June 12 I was a very active company owner, worked long hours and in my opinion was successful. After I fell off a ladder on June 12 2008 my entire life and career has changed, not only has my insurance company decided not to pay my claim for the ladder fall, which will cost me $5,000 out of my own pocket, they said I was working for someone else and it was a workmans comp issue, Love those insurance companies.

I ask again, Who am I ? certain parts of that are easy, 48 yr old male, husband,Father, step Father, business owner. Now What? Semi retired? Cancer patient? I dont for obvious reasons like either of those choices, I dont however quite know what choices I have. I am told by my beautiful and incredibly supportive wife that I am still very valuable to the business. She did forget to tell me in what way i was valuable, she did remind me that I was now an administrator not a field operator. Administrator? What the hell is that? The main reason I was in the field working with the guys was because I liked it, Dammit, I liked it, the heat, the sweat, the dirt, I liked it. I did have a portion of my brain removed, I have no idea how valuable that portion was you would think every part of the brain is important. There are mitigating circumstances here, the part removed did have Cancer, so good riddance, right? I have acknowledged surging forth this day forward with less brain matter than I previously had. Now I am an administrator with some brain matter revoved. life gets complicated does it not?
