It's done - Resurfacing with Dr. Blackley and what a relief....

All sounds good, Simon.

7 months (and one week)
The deep scar tissue massage went well. He said I must have done a good job on it early as there wasn't that much hard stuff to work with. So that's good to know.

Hi kiwi, what do you think helped with your scar tissue? I'm eager to do all I can early on, I am only 4 weeks.

Around 6 weeks I started doing self massaging of my scar tissue using cross friction technique.
I looked up the technique via google and found several different methods, so check it out on the 'net. 
I also had my PT do some cross fiction massage on a couple of occasions too, but mostly it was myself.
Getting into the pool early is some of the best advice I got. Doing pool exercises was great for ROM. Afterwards I'd soak in the hot pool and get the powerful jets on the scar. That probably helped too.

Played golf on a hilly course in morning, tennis & then squash. Had little left in the tank.
Good news is that a) For first time in years I hardly thought about my hip during the game of squash - a huge mental shift and b) Today the hip feels great  :D
Happy days...

Excellent. This is why we work hard on our recovery.
