ACTIVITIES AND SOCIAL GROUPS
Photo courtesy of UNCW
When relocating, finding social groups is an important part of assimilating into your new community. And while finding groups of folks to socialize with might be easy in your immediate area, reaching further into the community’s social scene can broaden those social opportunities.
The Osher Life Long Learning Institute coordinates a variety of Shared Interest Groups (SIGs). A SIG consists of OLLI members who are interested in meeting people who share common interests. These groups can form out of a shared OLLI class when individuals want to continue learning and discussing specific class topics, or they can be less formal groups that focus on topics like genealogy research, walking, or book clubs. All OLLI members have access to these groups. Finding connection within a group that shares your interests is a healthy and important complement to an active lifestyle. The New Hanover County Senior Resource Center offers ways for aging adults to meet through the various activities they offer. Some of their recurring weekly activities include billiards, cards, art groups, line and tap dancing, and table tennis. If one or some of these are of interest to you, register for the activity by contacting the New Hanover County Senior Resource Center. Keeping folks connected through recreation fosters the ability to continue living life to its fullest.

SLEEP APNEA
WHAT IT IS
Sleep Apnea is a sleep disorder in which breathing is briefly and repeatedly interrupted during sleep. The “apnea” in sleep apnea refers to a breathing pause that lasts at least ten seconds. Obstructive sleep apnea occurs when the muscles in the back of the throat fail to keep the airway open, despite efforts to breathe. Another form of sleep apnea is central sleep apnea, in which the brain fails to properly control breathing during sleep. Obstructive sleep apnea is far more common than central sleep apnea.
SYMPTOMS
Chronic snoring is a strong indicator of sleep apnea and should be evaluated by a health professional. Since people with sleep apnea tend to be sleep deprived, they may suffer from sleeplessness and a wide range of other symptoms.
TREATMENT
Dr. Duffy at Live Oak Dental works closely with physicians to treat snoring and sleep apnea. At your first visit, Dr. Duffy will talk to you about the benefits of treatment. You also will receive information on the potential side effects and the cost of therapy.
