In 1991, a ¾-ton pickup running 50 mph broadsided my car. I was at the wheel; my toddler was strapped in his car seat behind me.  My son’s facial lacerations took over 100 stitches to close. I suffered a traumatic brain injury that left me with an unmistakable limp, terrible balance, wandering eyes and vision issues. Before my accident, I was an athlete.  I earned many awards and accolades, accumulated twelve conference titles, and hold a college record set over 30 years ago. Though I lost nearly everything, lessons learned from sports lived in my subconscious, driving me forward when nothing else could. This is my story…I am still Lexie.
