I had counselling again on Tuesday, and there's been some developments...

We made a list before of my littles, and there's 5, but now I've realised they're hiding someone.  I know they're young, male and they won't let him out as they're telling me "he's bad" but I don't know anything else.  My counsellor said just to leave things for now, and it'll come with time.

Also, the little one who's 10 (they haven't told me their name yet) is the one who's always anxious and scared...  she's started coming to my husband, Si, for cuddles, which is lovely.  It's really helped at night time.

Titch (13) is starting to realise that HE doesn't deserve to be up on the pedestal she put him on, and he was mean to us.  It's like the bottom has dropped out of her world, and she's absolutely devastated.  I've been trying to comfort her, but she's not around at the moment.  Again, Oya (counsellor) said not to rush things, she's probably processing things.

Health-wise...  I have my tonsils out on Wednesday night, so I have to be in self-isolation for 2 weeks and not leave the house.  I go back to work on the 27th.  I saw a physio Wednesday afternoon, and they've given me some exercises to change the way I walk, and to strength the muscles around my hip to try to stop the subluxing.  Hopefully, it'll put off the hip replacement a few more months, but the bone scan results also showed it was inevitable as the cement around the socket joint is coming loose.
