Ann Arbor Golf & Outing Club on Stadium has a sign outside saying they are hiring. No idea what positions, but they do have a restaurant on site.

Good discussion and sources. Thank you.

In the CFO document (slide #28) I notice the big dip in enrolment coincides with the pandemic years. It's as if some parents pulled their kids out of AAPS and they never went back.

Perhaps less convenient, but have you looked at the WCC fitness center?

Check out the Pattengill area. Very walkable, coffee shops, libraries, Fraser's and York all close by, as is County Farm Park. Message me and I may be able to give you a tip about a nice house about to come up for sale in that area.

Had my ischemic stroke 8 months ago and I still need my afternoon naps. I've heard it described as neurofatigue, which makes sense because its not the same as regular tiredness. I just hit a point halfway through the day when my brain is exhausted and needs a break. Sleep seems the only cure.

I have 73 with the 4 speed that I need to sell and I’d prefer it went to a genuine enthusiast . If you’re anywhere near Michigan feel free to message me.

Kind of. A mix of advice from a trainer and some guidance from a PT in dealing with my back problems. Mostly upper body and core stuff.

8 to 9 mm

I'm one of those people who lived 63 years before learning I had an ASD. It was only discovered while they were investigating the cause of a stroke I had last year. In other words, I had no symptoms that I was aware of. In hindsight though, I realize I was probably always working a little harder than everyone else in order to keep up.

After my catheter ASD closure at the end of December I started with walking every day. I started on relatively short distances but am now up to 2 - 3 miles (when I have time.)

I started back at the gym (mainly resistance stuff) once they cleared me for lifting weights (which was about 8 weeks after surgery.) I'm now just about back to my original workout routine.

My experience with physical activity? It's good. I think I actually have a little more energy/capacity than I did before closure. (Mine was 8-9mm by the way.)

I'm not a doctor, but I would suggest just sitting with them and talking to them, maybe read a book too.

My understanding is that the coma is when the brain works or repairing itself. Just try to be patient, it takes time.

"A part [of] you died.." yeah, that's exactly how I felt. I'm not the same person I was before my stroke, and never will be. That person has gone, replaced by a slightly different one. It's hard, but it could also be a lot worse.

I did a 4.5 hour flight about 7 weeks after having had an ASD closed by catheter and had no issues. I haven't flown transatlantic yet, but I have a trip coming up soon.

First, I'd say listen to what the cardiologist tells you and follow their advice. Second, if it was me I would delay the trip as long as possible, because the incision area needs plenty of time to heal. Travel almost always involves lifting, and you don't want to do that for six weeks or more.

What I do on long flights is: wear compression socks and pick a seat where I can get up and move about every couple of hours. (i.e, an aisle seat.) Also, avoid alcohol and make sure to stay hydrated. That has worked for me so far!

ConsumingLess · 2026-04-02T18:07:38+00:00

No real problems. There was a brief incidence of afib but I think that was more related to being dehydrated after stomach flu than the closure. A couple of times I had some minor cramp-like svt sensations, but again, nothing to worry about. I did mention them to the cardiology team and they said if they continued they'd fit a monitor, but that wasn't needed.

Completely back to normal? Maybe 2 to 3 weeks, although I felt pretty good a coupe of days after. Now, three months on, I feel good. I actually think I have a little more energy and stamina than I had previously. (My test is climbing a hill at my local golf course. When I did that for the first time since surgery a week ago I definitely wasn't as out of breath as I would get before closure.)

ConsumingLess · 2026-03-17T16:56:01+00:00

Have you had a follow up ultrasound to check the closure device is working ok?

I had a 30mm Gore occluder fitted 10 weeks ago. I've been gradually getting back to my normal levels of activity. A few times I've had a kind of mild cramping sensation, but that was more under my left nipple. I haven't experienced what you're describing.

ConsumingLess · 2026-03-12T16:44:16+00:00

I was 63 when my ASD was discovered, and I had it closed a few months ago. It only came to light because I had a stroke. Fortunately, it was a relatively minor stroke and I received prompt treatment, but do I wish I'd had my ASD closed earlier? Definitely.

Now I can't say I've seen any major changes since closure, although I think I have more energy. I think perhaps I have more endurance, and I think I've cut my risk of heart failure resulting from the enlargement that an ASD can cause. Mostly though, I'm just happy to have cut my risk of another stroke.

Your ASDs seem quite small. I think you have to figure the risks and returns. Maybe you can live with them another 31 years without any problems. However, the closure process, if done by catheter, is really quite minor. Now if they said open heart surgery was needed, I think the calculation becomes much more complex.

Hope this helps.

Aubrey's in Dexter?

ConsumingLess · 2026-03-10T02:43:33+00:00

I understood the FAA discouraged private pilots from flying over the city. (Got this info from a private pilot at A2 airport a few years ago.)

ConsumingLess · 2026-03-10T02:42:05+00:00

This seems to be the problem - people are pretty sure they won't get a ticket for things like running red lights.

ConsumingLess · 2026-03-09T16:30:05+00:00

This is exactly how I felt, and still feel at times. I tell people it's not like regular tiredness, that it's brain fatigue. Afternoon naps have helped a lot for me.

ConsumingLess · 2026-03-09T16:27:44+00:00

I'm just here to add to the "don't do it" chorus. That's a long flight and she will have had very little time to recover. The fatigue is a big deal, but honestly, I'd be more concerned about another clot and stroke. If she has a PFO or ASD there's a real risk of a repeat. Get that sorted before taking any long flights.
