-- I actually had to have surgery (unplanned, emergency to repair a fracture that required pins) on New Year's eve. I was a nervous wreck. The anethesiologist spoke to me before I was taken to the operating room (first time I had seen that) and I told him about my experience and my fears. I had probes on me during the surgery, and I went completely under. The last thing I remember was some kind of a probe being put on my leg and me apologizing because I hadn't shaved my legs. So, the fear of surgery has subsided a bit, but it is still there. As for hypnosis, I tried hypnosis a couple of times for things, but it doesn't seem to work for me. I don't seem to be able to "let go" I think. The night terrors are not as severe as they used to be, but I do go through periods when I will have severe nightmares for a few nights a week where I wake up two or three times gasping for air and in a panic. They are just a part of my life, and I am used to them, so I try not to let them bother too much.Tamara
