Welcome!

Friends, join HubPages.  It’s fast and easy.  Then join my fan club (as a “follower”) and leave me comments on my hubs.  Who knows, maybe you’ll decide to start writing hubs too! 

My name is Rose Mary.  I was born in S.C., and lived there until I was almost 30.  I was raised very close to a gaggle of aunts, uncles and cousins.  My mother and all of my aunts are great Southern cooks.  I like to think I’m not so bad myself. 

I have been an Occupational Therapist since 1987, almost all of my career in the Air Force.  I spent about half of my career doing Pediatric Occupational Therapy, including school-based therapy overseas.  The last 6 years of my Air Force career, I specialized in hand and upper extremity care.  The overwhelming majority of my case load worked at a desk all day, as did I.  What I know about the aches and pains, and numbness and tingling associated with driving a desk all day is A LOT!  I loved educating clients.  I can’t wait to share what I learned from my clients, as well as lessons learned from my own pain.  Seems I have a true knack for this stuff, with simple, logical solutions. 

I retired from the Air Force Feb 2009 after 20 years of service.  I was stationed overseas, in Turkey for 3 ½ years and Germany for 3 years.  I took pretty good advantage of the travel opportunities.  I settled in San Antonio Texas.  I love San Antonio, Texas Hill Country, and Texas coast travel.  Of course the food is always one of my favorite parts of travel.  In this country or any other! 

I now teach Kinesiology to Occupational Therapy Assistant students.  I also work for a pediatric home health company.  I treated kids for about a year before transitioning to supervision of therapy assistants, and Occupational Therapy staff development.  I am working with a team to develop a mentoring program for new employees, and will be refining OT computer documentation tools.  I have developed and delivered continuing education courses for my state organization, which I love doing.
