What A Small World

Will the fall-out from my divorce and Julie`s serial adultery last forever? I ask because on Monday Sam was rushed to Basildon Hospital and remains there in a isolation room - though `thanx God` he is no longer in danger - as I got him there in time - another 48 hours and the doctors said his condition would of been critical.

So what has this got to do with October 2004 and grimson, flemming and Tibbs?

When we arrived at Basildon Hospital - Sam was in a very bad way - he was deathly white and had lost over a stone in just under a month.

But he still had his wits about him. As we waited to see a doctor he said "Do you know who that is?"

He then pointed at one of the nurses but I didnt have a clue who she was.

Sam said "She`s tibbs`s sister, it was her old man that I hit"

Adding:

"You watch I bet she`ll tell her (jtj) that I`m in here"

I tried to reassure him saying "No she wont they aint allowed to talk about patients cos its confidential"

But just to be on the safe side I approached a senior member of staff and asked "can I have a word in private?"

I was taken to a side room while Sam was being examined and said "I`m worried about that nurse discussing my son with one of her friends"

She asked why?

I explained that my ex-wife had a affair with the brother of the nurse and that I was concerned about her revealing private details.

The lady asked "what is the name of your ex-wife?"

I said "Julie Johnson"

She told me to wait and I watched as she had a word with nurse maxine tussaud - she returned saying "Dont worry I have told her not to tell your ex-wife that your son is a patient and is being admitted"

Sam was still not happy and I dont know if he was more nervous about going into theatre or my ex-wife turning up at visiting time.

I trusted the member of staff who gave me her word that tussauds wouldnt reveal confidential information to a third party - but to be on the safe side when we got to the ward I had a word with the staff nurse and gave her a description of my ex-wife.

She promised to pass on my concerns to other members of staff.

As luck would have it Sam ended up in a private room at the end of the ward so was both isolated and safe.

But for how much longer will Julie`s serial adultery continue to infringe on the lives of Sam and Adam?

Last year it was Adam who was the `innocent victim` of her sleeping around. He was playing in his second trial match to get an apprenticship with Chelmsford.

A week earlier he had `stood out` but this time one of those judging him was a friend of her ex-lover & Southend trainer Ian Flemming.

Before the match he approached Adam and said "I know who you are" adding "I remember you from Southend".

Needless to say he gave Adam a `low mark` and when I complained to the club it was too late and the damage had been done.

They apologised and promised - as long as he turned up fit for the next Apprenticeships Trials in March 2012 that he would be offered a place - and they have kept their word.
