Re: tingling and whatever!!

It means your nerves are trying to restore themselves. Not from being

cut, necessarily, but perhaps from being bumped, stretched or

otherwise damaged during the surgery.

It is a Good Thing, even though it may not feel so. There are also

stabs and burning sensations that are the same thing. Just wait until

it itches, but you can't scratch it! (unless you've had that already.)
