This appeal arises pursuant to the Texas Workers’ Compensation Act, TEX. LAB. CODE ANN. § 401.001 et seq. (1989 Act). A contested case hearing was held on January 23, 2002.

On appeal, the claimant contends that these determinations are contrary to the overwhelming weight of the evidence. The respondent (carrier) urges affirmance.
