I inadvertantly opened up two talk pages. I have a User BRileyPTA and now this one. I do need help with editing and I am open to suggestions!

User:BRileyPTA From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Jump to: navigation, search I am new to Wikipedia and I have contributed to Basal Metabolic Rate as my first effort.

My background includes serving as a Captain in the USMC from 1979 to 1983, then working with the Oblates of St. Francis de Sales as a Scholastic until 1990. I developed a chronic case of Plantar Fasciitis and was told that the condition was temporary by my Physician, and learned later that Physical Therapy would possibly alleviate the situation. Physcial Therapy did more than that, it relieved the symptoms completely. My Physical Therapist answered my questions very thoroughly and suggested that I go to the National Library of Medicine to learn more. I had been using the facilities of the Library while I was in graduate studies at the DeSales School of Theology so I took a more active approach to studying the system that the Library offers to researchers. I then enrolled in the Physical Therapist Assistant Program at Northern Virginia Community College and graduated in 1998. I currently work for Rehab Management Incorporated "The Extraordinary Rehab Company." I have written three articles for Advance for PTs and PT Assistants: 1) The Race against Chronic Plantar Fasciitis (with Christine Salmon as co-author); 2) Demystifying Complex Regional Pain Syndrome; and 3) Exploring Treatment Options for Elbow Pain. Basal Metabolic Rate is my first contribution to the compendium being crafted by the administrators at Wikipedia. I also have a beautiful little girl who will always be my inspiration: Faith Mangente Riley (born November 21, 2003,at 3:21 PM, 7 lbs, 8 oz, height 20.5 inches.) Faith's Mother, Fredda Mangente, R.N., works two jobs as a Nurse and was instrumental in helping me to understand the concepts and physiological implications of how the Krebs Cycle influences and shapes the changes that do occur at the cellular level to increase or decrease basal metabolic rate. Ingrid Parkhurst is my MDS collaborator and companion on my 35 mile walks along the Potomac River. By walking 35 miles on a weekly basis, and in some cases on a daily basis, I am learning how a pound of fat is redistributed in the various compartments of the body. JT is the Director of Nursing where we work. She is helping me to comprehend how the blood tests used in Nursing can support the idea of balancing the deprivation needed to be fit physically while maintaining appropriate nutrition to keep the muscle cycles strong with energy from the viscera. A wonderful woman that I have met at my place of employment named Col. R.L. is a very famouos dietician and she has been instrumental in showing me how a very healthy 95 year old can metabolize a balanced nutritional regimen with optimal exercise. Col. R.L. is ably assisted in this effort by her Filipino Nursing Staff: Minda, Elizabeth, Miratu, Christine, and Nita.BRiley 15:40, 3 September 2006 (UTC)BRileyPTABRiley 15:40, 3 September 2006 (UTC)
