The last week in June of 2005, a test was routinely run in an attempt to determine the source of some reoccurring balance problems. The test revealed that the part of my brain that controls muscle activity/coordination was shrinking. A little over a month later the situation was diagnosed as spinocerebellar atrophy #8. The cause cannot be treated or reversed. The symptoms then and currently center in speech, balance, and stamina issues.
I am still working full time for the West-Ark congregation and plan to do so the rest of this year. We currently have no plans to leave Fort Smith. In December my health situation and the congregation's needs will be re-evaluated. Currently I am teaching classes, doing personal guidance, and writing. For numerous reasons including my increased difficulty in oral projection, I ceased doing pulpit preaching the evening of June 4, 2006. At the moment I am slower than I used to be, but am fully functional. Were it not for my slurred speech, you might think there was little wrong with me. For a month in late May through early June, 2006, my schedule was unpredictable and hectic. Among other situations, my mother-in-law [Mary Wells] died. I am producing sermon material again to be posted on my web site [www.davidchadwell.com] and the congregation's web site. The material is free for anyone to use as a resource for personal thought and reflection. Your prayers and encouragements are deeply appreciated. David Chadwell |
